Augrented Insights Report for 89-50 56th Avenue

The 165-unit, 6-story building at 89-50 56th Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Edward Kalikow and constructed in 1963, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and ongoing concerns in recent years. Most notably, during May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding indoor air quality and dust from construction work, along with a series of HPD complaints about various issues including pests, mold, appliance problems, and electrical concerns.

The building has also been facing recurring rodent activity, with eight bait application inspections recorded between October 2024 and July 2025, including instances of rat activity in January and April 2025. The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints filed between August 2023 and January 2024 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though inspections typically found no violations warranting further action.

Structural and safety maintenance issues were documented in December 2024, including problems with self-closing doors, fire escape concrete pads, and a hot water supply violation in Apartment 4P. Historical records show some improvements, with the building achieving a bedbug-free status in recent annual reports for 2022-2024, though there were infestations recorded in 2019-2021. The property has also sustained various Environmental Control Board violations related to elevator maintenance, with penalties imposed in 2018-2019, and a violation for failure to submit a benchmarking report was dismissed in 2023 after confirmation of submission.
