680 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

The 6-story, 36-unit building at 680 East 140th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Ana Mckee and built in 1920, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to plumbing and structural elements. Most notably, between late 2024 and mid-2025, the property faced multiple plumbing issues, including problems with sinks, radiators, and water supply systems, some of which were designated as emergency situations. The building has also experienced recurring flooring problems, with violations recorded in multiple inspections, and issues with windows, though some inspections found the conditions did not violate housing laws.

An infestation of roaches in apartment 1A was documented in October 2024, and while bedbug reports from 2019-2024 show minimal activity, with only two instances in 2018-2019, the building has generally maintained a pest-free status in recent years. The property has ongoing violations from 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1A, including issues with kitchen cabinets, door functionality, and plumbing connections. Earlier violations from August 2024 included water leak problems, door issues, and concerns about balcony flower pot obstructions on fire escapes.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements through the years, with successful rodent inspections passed in 2010, 2011, 2017, and 2023. A violation recorded in 2021 regarding energy efficiency display requirements was dismissed. The most recent service requests for plumbing issues and other maintenance concerns have received inspections and, in some cases, prompted the issuance of violations requiring owner correction. While the building has historical maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years, it has also shown patterns of compliance and resolution in various areas, with the most current violations primarily relating to plumbing, doors, and flooring conditions.
