Augrented Insights Report for 490 New York Avenue

490 New York Avenue, a 6-story, 36-unit building constructed in 1967 and managed by East Park Holding Corp, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heat and water systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 (February and January) that affected the entire building, with similar issues recurring throughout 2024. The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including water leaks, mold problems, and various maintenance issues.

Between December 2024 and February 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks and unsanitary conditions, particularly related to mold. Earlier in 2024, the property was cited for problems with paint/plaster in various units, including violations issued in February 2024 regarding wall and ceiling conditions. The building has faced safety concerns as well, with open violations from April 2024 regarding rodent infestation in apartment 3A and issues with fire escape access in apartments 2B, 3A, and 6E.

While recent rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing results, historical bedbug reports indicate sporadic infestations, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing one infested unit that was subsequently treated. The elevator system has also been a point of concern, with a complaint regarding single device service and no alternate options filed in July 2024, though inspections in early 2025 found no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, with multiple instances where housing authorities were unable to gain access for inspections. Despite these problems, there have been no major structural violations recorded, and the building has passed regular rodent inspections since 2019.
