Augrented Insights Report for 208 West 88th Street

208 West 88th Street is a 5-story, 17-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Paul Xuereb. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2020 and 2024, including a recent building-wide heating complaint in October 2024. The building has also faced pest management challenges, evidenced by rodent activity inspections showing periods of rat presence between 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 indicate improvement with a passed initial inspection.

Additional infrastructure concerns have been documented, including various maintenance violations in December 2023 affecting apartment 5E related to heat supply, locked boiler room access, and defective self-closing doors. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent heating system problems, with multiple complaints and violations recorded over the years. Other significant events include a power outage in May 2021, and various environmental and safety compliance inspections.

In 2020, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding construction activities during COVID-19 emergency orders, resulting in a $5,000 penalty. However, the building has maintained a clean record on bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the last several years. Recent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvement in building conditions, including passing rodent inspections, though there remain open heating system violations from late 2023 that require attention.
