690 East 140th Street, Bronx, NY 10454

690 East 140th Street is a 200-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1969, currently owned by Christina Pimentel. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints reported for both apartment-specific and entire building failures. Water supply problems have also persisted, with multiple open and recently closed complaints continuing into mid-2025.

In 2024, significant violations were recorded regarding hot water availability in apartments 1K and 3C, though these were certified as corrected by mid-2024. The building has typically passed bedbug inspections, with only one reported case in 2022 which was promptly addressed, and rodent inspections in 2012 and 2023 failed for unspecified reasons. Recent maintenance history shows ongoing plumbing issues, with the most recent 311 service request for water supply problems logged in May 2025 remaining open as of this report.

The building has had elevator reliability concerns, with multiple complaints regarding single-device service between 2019-2024. Recent improvements include various plumbing and electrical work permits issued between 2019-2020. While the building has faced several health and safety compliance challenges, including a missing carbon monoxide detector violation in 1K (corrected by July 2024), many historical complaints have been addressed through inspections and repairs, though some issues, particularly concerning the hot water system and water supply, appear to be persistent problems that have not been fully resolved.
