Augrented Insights Report for 499 East 188th Street

The nine-story, 40-unit residential building at 499 East 188th Street in the Belmont neighborhood, owned by William Bolinger, has been experiencing persistent maintenance and safety issues since at least 2023. The building, constructed in 2012, currently has multiple active violations related to fire safety and building maintenance, including problems with smoke detectors in apartments 4D and 5B, water leaks affecting ceilings in multiple areas including the laundry room, and various ceiling and wall damage.

Recent complaints from May 2025 indicate issues with plumbing (toilet problems), paint/plaster damage (ceiling and cabinet), heating/hot water systems, safety systems (smoke detector), and ventilation systems. There are also ongoing concerns about the building's elevator system, with multiple complaints from 2023 to 2025 regarding "Multiple Devices on Property" still marked as active. The property has faced regulatory scrutiny for failing to meet several building maintenance requirements, including not properly submitting required reports for critical examinations of exterior walls (as of April 2024) and not maintaining updated energy efficiency documentation.

Rat activity has been documented in multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, with the most recent April 2025 inspection showing continued compliance issues. While bedbug reports for the past two years (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) show no infestations, the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding timely repairs and safety systems. The Department of Buildings has active violations related to emergency exit functionality, water leaks affecting multiple areas, and various maintenance issues across different apartments that have remained unresolved for extended periods, warranting close monitoring of the property's maintenance response patterns.
