Augrented Insights Report for 89 Rockaway Avenue

89 Rockaway Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Shu Min Shi. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with particular concern in 2022-2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding fire escape safety, window guard problems, and door issues.

A notable cluster of complaints was recorded in November 2022, including both unsanitary conditions (pests) and fire escape safety concerns, all of which have since been closed. The building had recurring violations related to fire escape safety and window guards between 2021-2023, suggesting ongoing safety maintenance challenges. The property has also faced issues with unauthorized occupancy and modifications, as evidenced by multiple illegal conversion complaints between 2019-2022, though inspectors often noted inability to gain access for verification.

Significant violations from 2019 included unauthorized cellar modifications with partitions and plumbing installations, for which penalties were imposed totaling $4,375, though these violations were ultimately resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2021-2025 shows no recorded infestations, and rodent inspections in 2018 revealed initial rat activity, with bait applied regularly during that period, though a compliance inspection in March 2020 passed without issues. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 have included a "Special Operations Compliance Inspection" and an active complaint regarding illegal commercial use from October 2024, which remains unresolved as of the most recent data.
