647 East 138th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 5-story, 17-unit tenement building at 647 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Andrew Kleiman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in late 2024. Most notably, Unit 2B in December 2024 received multiple Class A violations related to water leaks affecting ceilings and walls in bathrooms and various rooms, along with pest infestation issues.

The building has shown recurring plumbing problems, with multiple complaints about toilets and sinks between October and December 2024, including one emergency water leak complaint. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest management, though recent inspections in 2024-2025 have shown some unsanitary conditions requiring attention. The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical infrastructure, with permits issued for work in 2018, though specific details of the work are not provided in the data.

While there have been periodic rodent inspection results showing rat activity in 2023 and compliance in 2023, the property has a generally strong record of passing these inspections, with multiple consecutive passes between 2010-2022. The absence of bedbug reports over the past six years (2019-2025) suggests effective management of this particular pest issue. Recent months have shown a pattern of multiple simultaneous complaints being filed and addressed, particularly in December 2024, covering various issues from plumbing to pest control, with most cases being closed after inspections resulted in either violations or confirmation that no housing law violations were present.
