AI summary · updated June 2026

The 10-story, 115-unit residential building at 1490 Southern Boulevard, built in 2019 and currently owned by Jill Crawford, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues since its construction. Most notably, in April 2022, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded across different apartments, including a roach infestation (Apt 209), plumbing issues (Apts 1001, 1004, 814, and 603), and various maintenance problems affecting doors, ceilings, and floors in Apts 503, 1002, and 209. These violations were subsequently closed by May 2022, although some, like the damaged floor tiles in Apt 209, had no certified resolution date. The building has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent filings in 2023-2024 showing no current infestations, following a single reported case in 2021-2022.

The construction phase of the building (2019) was marked by several safety violations, including three ECB violations in August 2019 related to construction safety protocols and record-keeping, resulting in fines totaling $12,500. More recently, in 2024, there was a complaint about building shaking/vibrating that was investigated but found not to warrant a violation. The building has experienced recurring issues with elevator systems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, including a Criminal Court summons in 2021 for non-compliance. Between 2019 and 2024, the property has generally maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing all but one in 2015. The building's maintenance record shows periods of improved conditions, with no reported violations between 2022-2023, though there were administrative violations related to filing requirements for energy use benchmarking and other reports in 2021-2023, which were dismissed upon challenge.

Risk factors

What's driving this score

These are the three data points that most influenced this building's score — ranked by how much weight the model placed on each one.

Number of apartments

The number of residential units affects how the model interprets complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total residential square footage — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, HVAC, etc.) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

The model uses precise location as a proxy for neighborhood-level risk patterns — some blocks have systematically higher violation rates.
