Augrented Insights Report for 498 East 138th Street

The 8-unit, 5-story building at 498 East 138th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Shingara Singh and constructed in 1915, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Recent complaints from December 2024 involved problems with window frames, wall conditions, and plumbing issues in a basin/sink, though these were reportedly corrected according to HPD's follow-up.

The building has faced recurring plumbing problems in 2024, particularly with water supply issues documented in multiple complaints during July 2024. There have been multiple heating and hot water complaints throughout 2024, including emergencies affecting the entire building and individual apartments in January 2024.

The property has several open violations as of 2025, including an unresolved bedbug report requirement from April 2024, a broken latch at the first-story vestibule door, and various maintenance issues involving door functionality and ceiling conditions in Apartment 4D. A significant development occurred in June 2025 with a partial Stop Work Order related to plumbing issues, and violations were issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. The building's recent history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, particularly concerning plumbing and heating systems, while historical rodent inspections from 2010 to 2023 show generally passing results, with one failure noted in 2013.
