Unlock complete reportThe 150-unit apartment complex at 3809 S Congress Ave, known as the St. Edwards building, is a relatively modern property built in 2008 and currently owned by Ko South Congress Owner De LLC. The building has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant current concern being an active structure condition violation complaint opened in June 2026. Over the past seven years, there have been a total of eight code complaints, including multiple structure condition violations and two land use violations, though most complaints from 2023 and 2024 have been resolved. The property underwent substantial emergency water damage repairs in early 2021 due to winter weather events, resulting in multiple building permits for drywall replacement, trim work, and fixture repairs. Three major remodeling projects have been completed since 2021, including a 2023 conversion of office/retail space to personal improvement fitness facilities and a 2021 transformation from retail to medical offices. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a 2021 re-roofing project. While there have been numerous 311 service requests (87 total), most recent concerns primarily relate to animal protection issues, with multiple cases of animal care assistance recorded between 2025-2026, suggesting some operational challenges in this area. The frequency of permits issued (28 in total) and their diverse nature indicates active management of the property, though the recent structure condition violation remains a notable concern.
