Augrented Insights Report for 257 Hosmer Avenue

257 Hosmer Avenue, a two-family house built in 1998 in Throgs Neck and owned by Kwong Chu, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the building generated numerous complaints primarily related to water leaks, with multiple reports of heavy flow and damp spots, some designated as emergency situations. The property has also faced challenges with unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, during the same period.

Violations were issued in connection with some of these complaints, particularly regarding plumbing and water-related problems, though several complaints were closed without violations being found. The building's history reveals ongoing concerns about unauthorized modifications and compliance issues. In 2018, a complaint about illegal conversion resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

Subsequent complaints in 2019-2020 regarding the Certificate of Occupancy and permits also ended with inspectors unable to gain access during their second attempts. These historical compliance issues, combined with the recent cluster of plumbing and sanitation problems, suggest persistent challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance. The property has been in the same ownership since 1998 and is classified as a two-family house.
