Augrented Insights Report for 138-52 Elder Avenue

The 14-story, 159-unit building at 138-52 Elder Avenue in Flushing, owned by Evelyn Wolff and constructed in 1988, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, with the most recent occurring in February 2024, and similar incidents affecting the entire building in December 2021. The property faced significant water-related issues in May 2023, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks resulting in both violations and emergency responses.

Recent inspections in May 2024 revealed maintenance violations in apartments 11A and 9N regarding bathtub issues, while August 2023 violations in apartment 4J related to defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. Additionally, there are four active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspections. The building's history shows periods of pest management activity, with the most recent bedbug report (December 2024) indicating three units were treated and successfully eradicated between November 2023 and October 2024.

Earlier reports from 2018-2020 also documented three infested units at that time. Building systems have faced various issues, including one electrical complaint in late 2022 regarding lighting. The property's maintenance pattern suggests recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly with water systems and safety equipment, though many historical violations have been resolved. The elevator system has seen multiple cease-use violations between 2020-2021, but these were subsequently resolved.
