Augrented Insights Report for 73-20 Austin Street

The 95-unit, 6-story building at 73-20 Austin Street in Forest Hills, owned by Chaim Babad, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple food safety inspections in 2024 (July-October) by the Department of Health, including concerns about temperature control, food contamination, and worker hygiene.

The building has faced several infrastructure challenges, particularly in mid-2024, with violations related to hot water supply, water supply issues, and infestations. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued multiple violations in 2024, including problems with the intercom system, plumbing issues, and various appliance-related concerns. The building's safety features have also required attention, with ECB violations related to door and fire escape conditions in 2024, and outstanding violations regarding low pressure inspection filings from 2023-2024.

The Department of Buildings recorded complaints about egress and elevator issues in late 2023, though inspections found no violations. While the building underwent some permit work in 2019, there are currently no active bedbug infestations, and most violations from 2024 have been resolved, though some remain open. The frequency and variety of complaints and violations during 2024, particularly related to plumbing, appliances, and safety systems, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
