Augrented Insights Report for 37-50 97th Street

The 66-unit, 6-story building at 37-50 97th Street in Jackson Heights, built in 1937 and currently owned by Karen Cruz, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent years. Between 2024-2025, there have been multiple reports of water-related issues, with heavy flow water leaks documented in February 2025, December 2024, and multiple other instances throughout 2024, along with a persistent mold issue reported in January 2025.

The building has an active violation from September 2024 regarding roof leaks affecting apartment 6C, along with several other open violations related to window guards, window repair, and various maintenance issues in that same apartment. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints filed between 2021-2022 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for improper installation of DLM and lack of fireman's service. These elevator violations have penalties ranging from $625 to $1563.

While the building has shown a clean record for bedbugs in recent filings (2021-2024), rodent inspections between 2016-2022 have shown mixed results, with some failures noted in 2021 and 2022. Recent service requests have also included various issues such as plumbing problems, electrical concerns, and door/window maintenance needs. The building's management has faced challenges in promptly addressing violations, as evidenced by multiple "immediately hazardous" ECB violation certifications being dismissed or marked as active through 2023-2024.
