Augrented Insights Report for 164 East 88th Street

164 East 88th Street is a 5-story, 18-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building located in the Upper East Side, dating back to 1910 and currently owned by Magdalena Kosz. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around mailbox problems, for which violations were issued in July 2024. The property has demonstrated ongoing challenges with basic services, including a notable incident of inadequate heat/hot water in October 2023 and previous electrical lighting issues in 2022, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify these complaints.

Multiple housing code violations remain open as of 2024, including issues with mailbox repair, fire escape obstruction, and various maintenance needs in apartment 2FW involving pests, plaster, and painting requirements. Recent inspections and monitoring suggest some improvement in building conditions, notably with successful rodent inspections in 2025 and September 2024, following a failed inspection in October 2023. The building has maintained a consistent record of showing no bedbug infestations across all reported periods from 2019 to 2024.

Several complaints regarding work without proper permits were investigated in April 2024, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. Of particular concern are the open violations regarding fire escape access and mailbox repair, which directly impact resident safety and convenience. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, though recent rodent inspection successes indicate some positive trend in pest control.
