711 East 133rd Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 711 East 133rd Street in Port Morris, owned by Joseph Maas, has experienced significant construction-related issues between 2020 and 2023. In 2022, multiple construction safety compliance problems were documented, including a serious incident in June involving inadequately supported scaffolding that prompted work stoppages. The building has undergone several inspection-related actions, with stop work orders being issued and subsequently rescinded on multiple occasions.

Environmental Control Board violations in 2022 highlighted safety concerns, including loose siding posing potential hazards. Additional violations documented in 2021-2022 showed issues with construction documentation, worker safety compliance, and maintenance requirements, though most were resolved with penalties paid or dismissed. More recent inspections show some improvement in general building conditions, with the most recent rodent inspection in May 2023 resulting in a passing score.

Historical rodent inspections from 2009 through 2023 show a pattern of rodent activity, with failures in 2015 and the most recent inspection passing. The building has one active Department of Buildings violation related to a fire from December 2018, and an earlier violation regarding unauthorized access was dismissed in January 2022. The property has obtained several permits for work performed in 2021 and 2022, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements despite the past compliance challenges. While recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions, the building's history from 2020-2022 raises concerns about construction management and safety compliance during that period.
