726 East 134th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

726 East 134th Street is a 2-story, 3-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Yoko Hara Ghadimi. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2024, with multiple complaints involving unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, as well as appliance problems with electric/gas ranges. Between July 5 and July 17, 2024 alone, there were three separate reports of pest problems, two mold complaints, and two appliance issues, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued in any of these cases.

A significant cluster of complaints occurred in late 2023 regarding garbage/recycling storage. The building has documented persistent pest problems, particularly in Apartment 3, dating back to 2022, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations for rodent and insect infestations that were eventually closed. This apartment has also experienced moisture issues, including mold in the bathroom as of February 2023. Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 showing zero infested units.

The building passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2011, though a violation for not filing an annual bedbug report was recorded in March 2023. A permit for work was issued in September 2019. While the property has had numerous complaints and some unresolved issues, particularly regarding pests and sanitation, it's notable that no violations were found during recent HPD inspections of the most recent complaints, and regular bedbug reports indicate no infestations. The most recent emergencies regarding mold and appliance issues were addressed and closed within a few weeks.
