Augrented Insights Report for 161 Elm Street

161 Elm Street is a two-family residential building located in Randall Manor, Staten Island, built in 1920 and currently owned by Benjamin Lin. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over recent years, with the most concerning being multiple active ECB violations from 2021 totaling $85,000 in penalties, primarily related to failure to comply with stop work orders and improper construction activity.

These violations include unlawful continuation of work during a stop work order, failure to maintain building in code-compliant manner, and excessive debris accumulation. The building's recent history shows particular concern during 2020-2021, with multiple violations related to unauthorized construction work including issues with an illegal rear extension and failure to obtain proper permits for horizontal enlargement work approximately 20x20 feet in size. The building has also faced basic utility service issues, with a documented power outage and heating system failure in December 2018 affecting Apartment 1, though these incidents were resolved with no violations found during the inspection.

Other complaints from 2020-2021 involve various permit-related issues, including a 2020 full stop work order and additional permit violations. As of the latest records, there are active DOB violations from 2020 and 2021 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. While the building dates back to 1920, these recent violations suggest significant concerns about proper permitting and maintenance practices during the 2020-2021 period.
