Augrented Insights Report for 288 East 149th Street

The 8-unit, 5-story building at 288 East 149th Street in Mott Haven, owned by Aaron Mechlovics, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. Most concerning is the current open violation for lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 1, along with previously documented issues of visible mold, water supply problems, and various paint/plaster deficiencies.

Recent HPD inspections in September 2024 identified multiple violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1, though these are currently listed as closed as of October 2024. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues, including plumbing problems (June 2024), and ventilation and mold concerns.

Looking at the building's recent history, there were multiple electrical safety violations and work without proper permits identified in 2018 related to basement electrical systems, resulting in penalties which have since been resolved. The property has also faced external regulatory requirements, with active violations as of June 2023 regarding failure to file low pressure inspection reports from 2019-2020. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and recent rodent inspections have shown periods of compliance (most recently passed in 2023), the building's maintenance record shows recurring issues with water systems, mold, lead paint hazards, and safety equipment compliance that suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
