340 Marion Avenue, Bronx, NY 10458

340 Marion Avenue is a five-story, 17-unit residential tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by 340 E 198th Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2025 alone, affecting the entire building. Recent investigations in June 2025 uncovered rodent activity, with violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The property has documented multiple building-wide and apartment-specific maintenance issues, including ventilation system problems, pest-related concerns, and various structural deficiencies such as window frame and paint/plaster issues. Notably, there are active environmental control board violations related to building walls and window decorations dating back to 2018, with a financial penalty of $2,500. Historical records show significant maintenance challenges in recent years, including a 2022 bed bug inspection with no infestations reported, though past years showed zero infested units across multiple reports.

The building has undergone several local law audits between 2019-2021, with inspections confirming various violations that were subsequently addressed. In 2021, multiple equipment replacements were documented through issued permits, though the property has previously experienced issues with compliance inspections. The most recent rodent inspection in July 2025 indicated active rodent problems, continuing a pattern of pest-related complaints.
