Augrented Insights Report for 87-01 51st Avenue

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 87-01 51st Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Jin Chiueh Chen, has experienced numerous maintenance issues and code violations in recent years, with particularly concerning problems emerging during 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there were violations related to heavy water leaks, along with multiple plumbing issues, particularly involving toilet problems, that persisted despite multiple inspection attempts by HPD.

Earlier in 2025, there were also issues with electrical outlets/switches and various paint/plaster problems that remained unresolved through incomplete inspections. The building has a history of critical infrastructure problems, including multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding a defective/inoperative boiler system, with inspections in 2022 and 2024 showing numerous violations requiring $31,250 in penalties related to improper boiler installation and maintenance across multiple apartments. Significant safety concerns persist in the building, including several open violations from a December 2024 inspection of apartment 1F, noting deficiencies in carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and water heating systems, as well as multiple violations regarding deteriorated plastered surfaces and paint in various rooms.

Three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 remain unresolved, related to hazardous conditions with water heaters and boilers, while recent complaints suggest ongoing heating and hot water supply issues. The property has also had structural and safety concerns, including locked heating system access and multiple instances of rodent activity, with only one compliance pass in August 2023 amid several documented rat activity observations between 2019-2023. The building's documented history suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing, heating systems, and general maintenance, with numerous violations remaining open or unresolved across various inspection periods.
