Augrented Insights Report for 157-20 16th Avenue

The two-family house at 157-20 16th Avenue in Whitestone, owned by Mary Vassallo and built in 1950, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past six years.

Most notably, during an April 2018 inspection of the second-floor apartment, multiple violations were documented, including the presence of mold in the bathroom, unsafe electrical wiring conditions with exposed wires in the kitchen ceiling fan and private hallway, a broken window sash, and several other maintenance issues such as a defective bathroom window counterbalance, damaged kitchen base cabinet, and missing carbon monoxide detection device.

While a rodent inspection conducted in June 2018 resulted in a passing grade, there have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding possible illegal conversions and hotel room use between 2018 and 2022, with three instances of access denial during inspections in 2020-2022, despite one inspection in August 2022 resulting in no violations being warranted. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing concerns with both habitability and compliance with building codes, particularly in the second-floor apartment where multiple open violations from 2018 remain unresolved as of the most recent available data in October 2023.
