Augrented Insights Report for 870 59th Street

870 59th Street is a 5-story, 3-unit residential building located in Borough Park, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Shuang Lin. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years, most notably related to heating and water systems, with a reported emergency heat/hot water problem in September 2021 that was temporarily resolved. The property has open violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements for 2022, 2023, and 2024, which are classified as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

In 2019, a major incident occurred involving multiple violations during a proposed 4-story alteration, including illegal occupancy, non-compliance with approved plans, and the discovery of an unauthorized gambling operation in the cellar. These violations resulted in penalties totaling $3,125 that were subsequently resolved. More recent compliance issues include an active violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection results, though this is not the building's first equipment compliance concern.

The building underwent two rodent inspections in early 2023, passing one and failing the other for unspecified reasons. Historical records from 2018-2019 show various construction-related complaints, including concerns about construction safety compliance, unauthorized construction beyond approved plans, and issues with sidewalk sheds/scaffolding, though these were mostly resolved with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. While the building's age and history show typical urban maintenance challenges, the persistent violation regarding bedbug reporting and the 2019 illegal occupancy incident are noteworthy concerns in the building's recent history.
