Augrented Insights Report for 78-14 Austin Street

78-14 Austin Street is a 6-story, 60-unit residential building in Forest Hills, Queens, built in 1932 and currently owned by James Demetriou. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with numerous emergency complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, including five complaints in a single burst during February-March 2024 alone.

Most recently, a heat/hot water complaint was filed in December 2024, though inspectors found the services restored by the time of their visit. The building has undergone several inspections and received some violations that were subsequently addressed, including a March 2024 violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the compactor closet on the 6th story, and multiple violations from October 2021 requiring the posting of various safety-related notices in common areas, such as carbon monoxide detection requirements and fire escape procedures.

The property maintains a good record regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, and only one mouse sighting complaint recorded in July 2023 that resulted in a passed health inspection. The building's systems appear to require ongoing monitoring, particularly the heating infrastructure, but most violations and complaints have been promptly addressed or closed through inspection verification. A Category 5 inspection violation was noted in 2019, which remains active as of this report's date.
