Is 490 East 189 Street, Bronx getting better or worse?

Certifications are being filed faster than new violations come in. 93 certifications filed against 16 new Class C in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 490 East 189 Street, Bronx?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 149 Class C violations: 143 by the original certify-by date, 6 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Is 490 East 189 Street, Bronx in housing court?

Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened March 25, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 490 East 189 Street, Bronx marked completed?

Yes. 5 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $6,703 in total. The most recent of the 5, a lead paint order, was opened February 11, 2026. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

When did 490 East 189 Street, Bronx last file its bedbug report?

On December 2, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 490 East 189 Street, Bronx rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 490 East 189 Street, Bronx built?

The city's record gives 1913 as the year 490 East 189 Street, Bronx was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up apartment building with 5 floors.

How many apartments does 490 East 189 Street, Bronx have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 30 residential units at 490 East 189 Street, Bronx. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus HPD's housing court cases, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
