Augrented Insights Report for 149 Essex Street

At 149 Essex Street, a 7-story, 24-unit building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by John McCarthy, there have been several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning are two mold-related emergency complaints in February 2024, along with a water leak issue in apartment 2B that remains open as of February 2024, with violations issued requiring both repair and proper painting of affected areas.

The building experienced a complete heat/hot water outage in February 2021, prompting an emergency response. Between 2020 and 2021, multiple Department of Buildings violations related to energy benchmarking and reporting requirements were issued and subsequently dismissed, including instances of failure to file necessary documentation and display energy efficiency scores. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections since 2019, all of which have passed, indicating effective pest management, and it has maintained a clean bedbug record over the past three years, with no reported infestations since 2021.

Recent issues have also included food establishment complaints, with the most recent being a 2024 DOHMH inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive handling of reported issues, though some violations remain open as of the latest available data. The property has received various permits for work between 2018-2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the aging structure.
