Augrented Insights Report for 168-42 88th Avenue

The 78-unit, 6-story building at 168-42 88th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Maria Rojas, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2019. Most notably, there have been persistent elevator problems, with multiple complaints regarding no alternate service between 2019 and 2025, including three complaints in October 2024, though inspections generally found no violations. Environmental concerns have been significant, with recent issues including a ventilation problem reported in October 2024 and mold concerns in July 2024.

The building has documented multiple instances of bedbug infestations, with the most recent report in December 2024 showing one infested unit, following a pattern of infestations between 2019 and 2024. Safety equipment has also been a concern, with multiple complaints related to window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors between 2021 and 2024. The building's maintenance history shows various housing code violations being addressed, including a cluster of issues in apartment 6K in 2021 involving mold, pests, and maintenance of walls, ceilings, and fixtures.

In 2022, notably during an October inspection, multiple elevator-related violations were documented, including a defective vestibule door and an unacceptable electromagnetic locking device. The property has experienced occasional heating and hot water issues, with reports in 2019 and 2022, though these were resolved according to follow-up reports. More recently, in 2025, several non-emergency maintenance issues were documented and closed, including flooring, pest control, and door problems. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections, passing inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2014, suggesting reasonable management of this specific environmental concern.
