574 East 189th Street, Bronx, NY 10458

The 3-unit residential building at 574 East 189th Street in the Belmont neighborhood, constructed in 2009 and currently owned by 189 Itallie Inc, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history. The most notable incident occurred in January 2019, when heat and hot water complaints were filed for Apartment B, with water temperature exceeding the maximum 130 degrees.

While this complaint was closed without violations, it coincided with multiple open violations related to safety and maintenance compliance. These included missing required safety notices in the first-story public hall regarding heating system keyholder information, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and the building's registration number.

The building also had violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports in 2021 and 2022, though subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 indicate no bedbug infestations were present during those periods. More recently, the building has maintained positive health and safety inspections, with passed rodent inspections in 2022 through 2025, although there was one failure noted in February 2022 for "Other Reasons." The most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2023 showed zero infested units and successful eradication of any previous infestations. The building's history shows improvement in compliance with safety and maintenance requirements, with many of the previously noted open violations related to safety signage and documentation now having been addressed, as indicated by their open and closed status.
