Augrented Insights Report for 137 88th Street

The 42-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 137 88th Street in Fort Hamilton, owned by Sam Klein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with the most recent complaints concentrated around unsanitary conditions. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding sewage problems and pests, with HPD inspectors unable to gain access for proper inspection in most cases. The building has also faced periodic heat and hot water issues, with failed inspections in January and December 2025 where inspectors could not gain access to apartments for verification.

In August 2024, several violations were documented, particularly in apartments 3C and 3D, including issues with roach infestations, damaged plaster, flooring problems, and safety concerns with handrails and doors. The building's management has shown some responsiveness to violations, with most being certified as corrected by October 2024. Recent documentation shows active concerns regarding the building's energy efficiency compliance, with violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores and submit required inspection reports.

A partial stop work order was issued in July 2025 regarding plumbing issues. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations, with no reported cases in recent years and a passed rodent inspection in 2021. Historical records show some past maintenance issues, including a boiler violation from 2022, but many of these have been addressed. The building's age (built in 1926) and ongoing maintenance issues suggest an active need for continued oversight of building conditions.
