716 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The two-story, three-unit building at 716 East 134th Street in Port Morris, owned by Darryl Williams, was constructed in 1920 as an Old Law Tenement. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant recent events including a power outage in July 2023, and various pest-related complaints in September 2022, September 2019 (when violations were issued), and multiple unsanitary conditions related to mold between September-October 2019.

The building has also faced multiple water-related issues, particularly in September-October 2019 when several emergency complaints regarding heavy water leaks were recorded, along with separate incidents of damp spots and heavy flow leaks, all of which received attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The property has several open violations as of 2024, including an ongoing issue from 2021 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and other violations related to electrical service, ventilation, and various maintenance concerns like floor repairs and security systems in apartments 1 and BSMT.

A significant cluster of emergency complaints was documented in October 2019, including issues with water leaks, flooring, and unsanitary conditions. The building's maintenance history shows some efforts to address these issues, with most complaints being closed after HPD inspections, though several violations from 2021 remain open as of 2024. It's worth noting that the building has passed multiple rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023, indicating satisfactory conditions with respect to rodent control during these inspections.
