Augrented Insights Report for 229 East 88th Street

229 East 88th Street is a 10-unit, 5-story Old Law Tenement building built in 1920, currently owned by Annie Assouline. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and water supply, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024 and 2022 regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access for verification.

Health and sanitation concerns have also been persistent, with multiple rodent sightings reported between 2023 and 2025, and the building had documented pest issues in 2024 that were not accessible for inspection. Recent violations include a December 2024 citation for defective entrance door latches and a safety violation concerning a loose marble tread in the public stairwell. The building's maintenance history shows significant attention to rodent control, with multiple bait applications documented through 2024-2025, though inspections continue to show rat activity.

Previous violations from 2019-2021 indicate issues with building systems and maintenance compliance, including heating system access problems and historical concerns regarding a defaced stop-work order. Despite these challenges, recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show no infestations, and the building has maintained compliance with some regulatory requirements, such as filing accurate bedbug reports. The most recent building inspection and complaint records from 2025 indicate continuing rodent activity and maintenance issues that require ongoing monitoring.
