Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

This 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 54-30 Arnold Avenue in Maspeth, owned by Alberto Astudillo, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in the summer months. Most notably, July 2023 saw multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, mold, and water leaks, along with problems requiring paint/plaster work. The building also underwent significant electrical issues in July 2024, with multiple power outages reported to HPD, though inspections resulted in no violations being issued. Recent building maintenance inspections (April and July 2024) revealed several open violations regarding required safety postings in common areas, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures.

Specific unit issues were documented in Apartment 1L, including mold and peeling paint concerns that received both Class B (serious) and Class A (less serious) violations in July 2023, though some were subsequently closed by September 2023. An annual bedbug report filing in June 2023 showed no infestations during the 2021-2022 period, and historical records indicate the building passed a rodent inspection in 2017. Two complaints regarding potential illegal conversions at the property were filed in July and September 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification on multiple attempts. While recent complaints have been addressed with inspections, the building's maintenance record shows persistent issues, particularly relating to water-related problems and pest control, though most recent inspections have resulted in fewer violations being issued.
