Augrented Insights Report for 188 15th Street

The 7-unit, 4-story building at 188 15th Street in South Slope, owned by Walston Bobb-semple and constructed in 2007, has several notable regulatory issues that persist into 2025. Most significantly, there are ongoing housing maintenance code violations related to the building's failure to file required annual bedbug reports, with violations issued in each of the past four years from 2021 through 2024.

The building underwent facade restoration work in 2020-2021, during which time two Environmental Control Board violations were recorded in February 2021 against contractor Apple Restoration & Water, related to inadequate maintenance of scaffold and sidewalk shed safety, resulting in penalties of $2,400 and $620 respectively, though these have since been resolved. A related Department of Buildings complaint from February 2021 concerning a construction site sweep resulted in a stop work order that was fully rescinded by April 2021.

Multiple permits for the facade restoration work were properly issued in 2020, with the last one being issued on April 9, 2021. The most pressing current issue concerns the building's ongoing noncompliance with bedbug reporting requirements, which have been persistent through multiple years and remain open as of the latest inspection in April 2024.
