79 Barrow Street is a 6-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Joshua Gosfield. The property has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's failure to file mandatory external low pressure inspections for both 2018 and 2019, with these violations remaining active as of June 2023. The elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with an active violation issued in September 2019 for failing to correct defects identified in a 2017 inspection. While the building has maintained relatively low bedbug incidents, with only one documented case in 2021 (all subsequent reports show zero infestations), there remains a pattern of non-compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The rodent inspection records show mixed results, with the most recent initial inspection in July 2024 passing, but previous inspections in 2023 (April and May) failed for "Other Reasons," and a 2017 inspection indicated rat activity. The building has undergone some permitted work in recent years, with several exterior and equipment-related permits issued in 2020, including job numbers 123754810, 140912378, and 140896154.
