341 East 194th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

341 East 194th Street is a 6-story, 45-unit residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Sefik Gunes. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of complaints in May 2025 involving unsanitary conditions (pests and sewage), plumbing problems (bathtub/shower and sink), and issues with doors/windows and flooring. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2022-2025 consistently showing evidence of rats, though baiting was last applied in March 2025.

Recent violations from November 2024 included a water leak and repair issues in common areas, as well as multiple apartment-specific problems including broken locks, damaged plaster, and plumbing fixtures, particularly in apartments 1D and 5E. Historical records show the building's recent challenges include a water leak affecting the 6th-floor landing (2024), various plumbing issues (2024-2025), and emergency repairs needed for mold and unsanitary conditions. The Department of Buildings records indicate several permits were issued in 2019-2020 for unspecified work, and there was once an illegal commercial use complaint in 2020, which was determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clear bedbug history from 2018-2025, with no reported infestations in any unit during this period. While some violations have been resolved, there are still open issues regarding door hardware and other maintenance matters that require monitoring. The property has also faced challenges with carbon monoxide detector compliance, though this appears to have been addressed in late 2024.
