Augrented Insights Report for 88-50 179th Street

88-50 179th Street is a 63-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Ray Seelall. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in the past year, with seven complaints registered between May 2024 and January 2025, three of which affected the entire building. In October 2024, the building received multiple violations involving apartment 3F, including issues with mold, ceiling repairs, and various bathroom fixture problems.

The elevator appears to be a recurring concern, with several complaints registered between 2023 and 2024 regarding its single-device operation and alternate service availability, though inspections generally found no violations. A significant environmental control board violation was issued in April 2024 regarding electrical brake monitoring issues, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with multiple incidents reported between 2020 and 2024, though the most recent reports indicate successful eradication in some cases.

Recent maintenance concerns include mold issues, ceiling problems, and various plumbing fixtures requiring repair. The property has experienced three rodent-related inspections between 2011 and 2015, with only one failing inspection noted in 2011, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. Notably, there is one open violation from May 2024 concerning roof leaks affecting the 6th-story public hall ceiling, and one closed violation from 2024 requiring carbon monoxide detector repairs in apartment 6D. The building's maintenance history shows a combination of timely resolutions and recurring issues, particularly regarding heating systems and elevator operation.
