Augrented Insights Report for 358 East 198th Street

The three-story, two-family house at 358 East 198th Street in Fordham, currently owned by Emmanuel Peprah, has experienced numerous significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, there are persistent rodent problems, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" in 2025 and 2024, and several bait applications throughout 2024.

The building has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including repeated complaints about pests and a recent fire safety concern regarding smoke detectors in December 2024. Currently, there are open violations from December 2024 in Apartment 2 regarding water leaks, carbon monoxide detector issues, and mouse infestations. The property has a concerning history of illegal modifications, particularly regarding the basement apartment, with multiple violations related to occupancy and unauthorized construction.

These include a 2024 violation for illegal conversion with a $24,000 penalty for disobeying a vacate order, and other violations from February 2024 regarding unauthorized living space with kitchen and bathroom facilities. Additional building maintenance issues have been documented, including violations for peeling paint, broken plaster, and hot water temperature problems. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of unaddressed basic safety and comfort issues, despite multiple inspection attempts by various city agencies, where access to the unit has often not been granted or appropriate follow-up communication has not occurred.
