490 East 184th Street, Bronx, NY 10458
The 15-unit, 5-story tenement building at 490 East 184th Street in Belmont, currently owned by BX 490 LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, between January 21-22, 2025, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with HPD confirming restoration of service during inspections. The building has also faced water-related challenges, with multiple violations recorded in December 2024, including leaks, damp spots, and plumbing issues involving the bathtub/shower facilities.
These complaints, along with concerns about electrical lighting issues, cabinet repairs, and ceiling conditions, were documented but HPD was often unable to complete inspections. The property has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections between March and April 2024 showing rat activity, though baiting was implemented as a control measure. Building safety features have been a concern, with an open violation from December 2024 regarding missing window guards in Apartment 8.
Between 2021 and 2023, there were several violations related to construction work and building safety, including an illegal after-hours work situation and issues with obstructed exit passageways. The most recent Department of Buildings violation from July 2024 indicates an active status related to plumbing work with a suspended plumber's license. Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past several inspection periods from 2019 to 2024.
