700 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454
The 20-unit, 5-story tenement building at 700 East 134th Street in Port Morris, owned by James Simari, has a documented history of maintenance challenges since 2020. Most concerning are the eight active violations issued in 2023 for failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, with substantial penalties totaling $10,000-$25,000 each. The building experienced a significant heat/hot water emergency situation affecting the entire building in March 2022, with multiple tenant complaints filed through 311.
More recently, in 2024, there have been plumbing and appliance issues, including toilet and refrigerator problems, though these were resolved or closed after inspection. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with various systems, including electrical lighting (2022), painting/plastering (2021), and flooring/stairs (2021) violations. The apartment LB has documented violations from October 2021 indicating multiple maintenance issues, including water leaks, flooring problems, and a rodent infestation. While recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestation, the building had multiple bedbug violations in previous years (2019-2020).
The property experienced several Dept of Buildings violations between 2019-2020 regarding boiler issues and illegal conversion claims. However, the building has passed rodent inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2023, indicating some improvement in pest control. The most recent bedbug reports from 2023-2024 show zero units affected, suggesting successful eradication efforts. While there have been numerous complaints and violations, many have been closed or resolved, though several significant issues remain active as of 2023-2024, particularly regarding pressure inspection compliance.
