Augrented Insights Report for 88-14 161st Street

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 88-14 161st Street in Jamaica, owned by Farhad Basal, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2020. Most recently, in 2025, multiple HPD complaints were investigated regarding plumbing, door issues, and an intercom system, though none of these inspections found violations.

Notable concerns include a heat and hot water violation in early 2025, and several unsanitary condition complaints between 2023-2024 involving mold and pests. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with mold, as evidenced by multiple violations in 2024, including one affecting public hall stairs on the second story. The building has several open violations with the Department of Buildings from 2023-2024 regarding failure to maintain proper inspection certifications for various systems, including low-pressure inspection violations dating back to 2018.

Recent structural concerns were raised in 2025, including reports of building shaking/vibration and work without permits, though these complaints were subsequently closed with Oath Violations served. The building's systems history includes an active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and inspection records suggest compliance issues with boiler inspections going back to 2019. While there were no bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2020, and rodent inspections from 2010-2014 generally passed, the building's maintenance record shows significant challenges with both infrastructure systems and resident comfort over the past several years.
