Augrented Insights Report for 61-25 98th Street

61-25 98th Street is a 14-story, 492-unit residential building located in Rego Park, built in 1960 and currently owned by Ed Benjamin. The property has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, particularly evident between late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Most recently, in April 2025, there was a steam pipe/riser issue that HPD investigated but found no housing law violations. The building has also faced some structural maintenance challenges, with violations noted in 2023 regarding damaged plaster surfaces and concrete floor issues in Apartment 6B.

The elevator system appears to have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2025, though inspections often found no violations. There have been several health-related inspections, including a 2024 Construction Lead Dust complaint (still in progress as of October 2023) and rodent issues with varying inspection results between 2021 and 2024, including some instances of rat activity and successful baiting operations. The building's management has generally addressed violations and complaints in a timely manner, as evidenced by the closed status of most recent complaints. Additionally, the property has shown minimal bedbug activity in recent years, with no reported infestations in the most recent two reporting periods (2023-2024).

The building has a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including open violations from 2023 related to apartment maintenance in Unit 6B, and a 2025 plumbing violation that resulted in a Partial Stop Work Order. Historical data shows varied compliance with building codes and maintenance requirements, with some past violations related to fire safety and elevator maintenance. However, the current status of the building shows improved conditions in many areas, with recent inspections passing rodent controls and no significant new health violations being reported. The property has also demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the relatively quick resolution of most recent complaints, though some heating and plumbing systems continue to require attention.
