Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-story, 4-unit residential building located at 109-56 215th Street in Queens Village, owned by Berrisford Mckenzie, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a heat/hot water complaint in November 2023 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues, with another emergency complaint registered in November 2023, following similar problems noted in October 2022 with garbage/recycling conditions. In 2021, the building suffered notable fire damage affecting two apartments (C1 and D2) on October 26, 2021, which prompted Class C violations requiring remediation.

The property has had consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020, with zero reported cases or infestations in the past four filing periods, including the most recent 2024 report. Initial rodent inspection in December 2021 resulted in a passing grade, and a subsequent DOHMH inspection that same month found no violations. While the building has maintained some basic compliance requirements, the recent heat/hot water issues and historical fire damage suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's records indicate that most violations have been addressed and closed, with regular inspection requirements being met, though the recent inability to access units for inspection raises some concern about resident communication and access protocols.
