Augrented Insights Report for 156 Front Street

156 Front Street is an 8-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Brian McCarthy. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent complaints in 2025 including rodent sightings (June 2025) and multiple unsanitary conditions involving pests, mold, and sewage (June 2025).

A concerning pattern of maintenance access issues is evident, particularly in April 2025, when multiple complaints regarding janitorial services, ventilation systems, water leaks, and flooring conditions could not be properly inspected due to lack of access. The building has undergone several safety inspections, revealing various violations that have since been resolved, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and ceiling plaster in apartment 7F (August 2024), and penalized for blockages in emergency exit passageways (March 2024). Recent rodent activity has been documented throughout 2024-2025, with multiple inspections showing consistent rat presence despite bait applications.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to various structural and safety elements, with multiple permits issued between 2018-2020 for elevator and exterior work. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, with violations related to waste management and building cleanliness noted in March 2024. While past violations such as illegal hotel room usage and after-hours work complaints have been addressed, the building's current challenges appear to be primarily related to pest management and maintenance access issues, as evidenced by the recent pattern of 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations.
