Augrented Insights Report for 188 Marcus Garvey Blvd

188 Marcus Garvey Boulevard is a 15-unit, 4-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Aron Getter. The property has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2023, with multiple HPD complaints in October and November 2023, some of which required inspections that could not be completed due to lack of access.

More recently, a rat sighting was reported in March 2025, leading to violations noted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building has ongoing violations related to the failure to file required external low pressure inspections between 2018-2023, with the most recent violations issued in September 2024. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests in 2022 and 2024.

Notably, in 2019, there were several environmental control board violations regarding unauthorized transient use of apartment #202, including issues with fire safety systems and egress requirements, though these were subsequently resolved. Safety-related violations have also been recorded, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 2023 (specifically in apartment 301), though these issues were addressed. The building's current bedbug reporting from 2021-2025 shows no recorded infestations, suggesting successful management of that particular issue.
