Questions about this building

Does 359 East 138 Street, Bronx have open violations?

Yes. 359 East 138 Street, Bronx had 22 open violations on September 26, 2026: 22 from HPD. 10 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous.

Is 359 East 138 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 16 certifications filed against 5 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 26, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 359 East 138 Street, Bronx?

Since September 28, 2023, certifications were filed on 38 Class C violations, all 38 by the original certify-by date. HPD now marks 1 of them False Certification. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Has DOB received complaints about 359 East 138 Street, Bronx?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint in the last 12 months, a conversion complaint. It was filed March 25, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 359 East 138 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 3 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 28, 2023, awarded for $3,304 in total. The most recent of the 3, a general construction order, was opened April 6, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

Is 359 East 138 Street, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 359 East 138 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 359 East 138 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 359 East 138 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 13 residential units at 359 East 138 Street, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 26, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
