Augrented Insights Report for 150-15 79th Avenue

The 75-unit, 6-story building at 150-15 79th Avenue in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by Andy Falkin, has experienced recurring issues with basic building systems since 2019, with the most recent concerns including heat and hot water outages in November 2024 and rodent activity in April 2025. The building has a documented pattern of heating system failures, with at least eight heat and hot water complaints logged between 2019 and 2024, though most were restored promptly as confirmed by HPD inspections.

More concerning are recent violations from April 2024, including defective fire retardant materials in the 6th story public hall, repairs needed for a roof leak affecting apartment 6M, and issues with smoke detector functionality in the same unit. The property has also faced maintenance challenges, evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including an active violation from 2023 for not properly filing energy benchmarking reports. Historical records show consistent issues with basic building systems, including plumbing, heating, and sanitation, with various violations and complaints investigated by HPD and DOB.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with no reported cases in recent years. Recent rodent inspections in 2025 have shown both rat activity (April 2025) and passed compliance checks (July 2025), indicating some progress in pest management. The building's management has been responsive to some complaints, as evidenced by many cases being resolved or closed, but the pattern of recurring heating system failures and recent violations regarding fire safety and water leaks suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
