Augrented Insights Report for 89-29 Pontiac Street

The two-family house at 89-29 Pontiac Street in Bellerose, owned by Leena Varkey, has experienced numerous maintenance issues and violations since 2022, with the most significant problems occurring in the past two years. As of July 2025, there are several open violations from a June 2024 inspection of the second-floor apartment (2NFLO) that remain unresolved, including issues with water leakage, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and multiple maintenance concerns affecting the bathroom fixtures and windows.

The building has a concerning pattern of heating and hot water problems, with complaints in both 2024 and 2025, though a June 2024 inspection noted excessively hot water (over 130°F) at all fixtures in 2NFLO. There are active illegal conversion complaints from 2025, with inspection attempts in both April and June 2025 showing that inspectors were unable to gain access. Previous illegal conversion allegations from 2024 were documented in a complaint that resulted in an Oath Violation being served in August 2024.

The building has also faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in 2024, including issues with water systems, flooring, window conditions, and sanitation. Two significant environmental violations from 2024 remain active, one regarding work without a permit related to gas lines and sink installations (penalty $12,500) and another for construction activity without proper documentation (penalty $6,250). The property has a history of pest issues, with multiple complaints in 2022 and 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions including pest infestations, and has experienced various maintenance access issues, with inspectors frequently unable to gain entry to assess reported problems.
