- City records show 3 open HPD violations at this building. Ask which are still unresolved in the unit and the landlord’s timeline to clear them.
- The oldest open violation on record dates to 2026 — why has it stayed open this long, and is it in or near this unit?
- We found no DHCR rent-stabilization unit count for this building. That is not the same as the building being market-rate — a registration can be on file with no unit figure, or not have been filed at all. Ask the landlord directly whether the unit is rent-stabilized, and request your own rent history from DHCR.
- Confirm the condition behind the most recent open violation was actually repaired, not just marked closed: Properly repair with similar material the broken or defective caulk around the tub….
690 East 140 Street sits in Bronx, ZIP 10454. The closest subway is Cypress Av (6) (2-minute walk), served by the 6 line.
Building Condition
Issued August 2026. HPD marks a violation open until it is certified as corrected, so an old date can mean an unresolved condition or a repair that was never certified.

No HPD lead-paint violations on record. Built 1969. For buildings built between 1960 and 1978, Local Law 1 applies where the owner knows lead-based paint is present — there is no automatic pre-1960 presumption. Lead paint in residential use was federally banned in 1978.
