Augrented Insights Report for 488 East 163rd Street

488 East 163rd Street is a 136-unit, 13-story residential building constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Boricua Village A-1, LLC. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, with recent issues in 2025 including multiple plumbing problems (both heavy and slow water leaks), plumbing fixture concerns (sink and tub issues), and reports of pests and mold. A significant building-wide incident in May 2025 involved heat and hot water service interruption, though it was reportedly resolved promptly. The property has a documented history of elevator problems, with several complaints and violations regarding service interruptions between 2024-2025, including multiple active complaints as of 2025.

Rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with passed inspections in previous years but failed inspections reporting rat activity in 2024. The building has also experienced recurring bedbug infestations, with three units documented as infested and subsequently treated in the most recent reporting period (2024-2025). Recent inspections and violations reveal ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation (as of August 2024) regarding a defective balcony railing on the 10th-floor unit. The building has experienced various infrastructure issues including water leaks, heating problems, and unsanitary conditions.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 specified issues with cabinetry and fixtures in multiple apartments, though many historical violations appear to have been resolved. The elevator system has been a particular area of concern, with multiple violations and complaints regarding service and safety features. Some recent inspections, particularly related to plumbing systems and heating, resulted in issued violations that required correction by the property owner. The building's management has shown a pattern of needing to address both routine maintenance and emergency repairs, as evidenced by the frequency and nature of the service requests and violations.
