Augrented Insights Report for 88-55 161st Street

Located at 88-55 161st Street in Jamaica, this 39-unit, 4-story building constructed in 1931 is classified as a New Law Single Room Occupancy (SRO) and currently owned by H&G Hotel Corp. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed by residents between 2018 and 2024, representing a persistent maintenance challenge.

Most recently, in early 2024, violations were recorded for heating system problems, including a leaking pop safety valve on the boiler, though these were subsequently resolved through correction notices. The building has undergone various inspections revealing several safety and maintenance concerns. Notable violations include a defective fire escape with a broken ladder (2019), improper fire stopping in utility rooms (2022), and problems with emergency lighting and exit signs (2022).

The property has also faced plumbing issues, with violations regarding unsupported piping and water meter installations recorded in 2024. While the building's bedbug reporting shows no infestations reported since 2022, there have been periodic rodent activity indicators, with the most recent inspection in April 2025 resulting in a "Passed" status, suggesting improvements in pest control management. The building's compliance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, though there have been instances of failure to promptly certify corrections for immediately hazardous conditions, which were subsequently dismissed.
