627 East 141st Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The five-story, 10-unit building at 627 East 141st Street in Mott Haven, owned by Joseph Soleimani, has experienced numerous maintenance issues, with a particularly concerning pattern of water-related problems. As of June 2025, there are currently open complaints for heavy water leaks and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

This follows a series of water-related incidents spanning several years, including multiple complaints about both slow and heavy leaks in 2024, and similar issues in 2019, 2021, and multiple reports in 2025. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including an active ECB violation from October 2023 regarding improperly supported window A/C units on the 3rd and 4th floors, for which a $500 penalty was imposed. A notable cluster of violations was documented in 2019 related to Apartment 3B, including issues with water leaks, damaged plaster surfaces, and mold concerns, though these violations were subsequently closed by July 2019.

The building's history includes two major heat/hot water emergencies in January 2021 affecting the entire building and specific apartments, though these complaints were resolved without violations. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2023, and maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2024 with zero reported infestations, the persistent water-related issues and recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has a history of various repairs and maintenance needs, including appliance issues (specifically refrigerator problems in 2024) and ceiling problems (paint/plaster issues in 2024), though many of these complaints were closed after inspection attempts or when access for inspection could not be obtained.
