Augrented Insights Report for 159 34th Street

159 34th Street is a three-story, three-unit Old Law tenement building located in Sunset Park, owned by Hameed Althaibani and constructed in 1899. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding doors, window conditions, and unsanitary mold issues.

Notable violations were recorded following an April 2024 inspection, including defective self-closing doors in the second-floor apartment, fire safety concerns with fire escape ladders, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in multiple units. B-class violations were issued for fire escape obstructions and the need for proper gas leak notice postings. The building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with doors, windows, and appliances, with multiple HPD complaints filed in April 2024 alone.

Recent rodent activity was documented in April 2025, following a pattern of rat sightings, though the building passed inspection in May 2025. Three separate complaints regarding potential illegal hotel conversions were filed in 2024, but inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these concerns. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status according to the most recent reporting period (2023-2024) and has passed multiple rodent inspections since 2018, suggesting some level of consistent pest management efforts.
