Augrented Insights Report for 945 Columbus Avenue

945 Columbus Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by E.j.'s Bucket Buddies, Inc. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2023 and January 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Notably, there are several open violations from April 2024 related to Apartment 4N, including issues with mold, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, broken window hardware, and water damage. Additional concerns were documented in December 2023 involving pests, wall damage, and a significant water leak. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the last three years, and recent rodent inspections (2023-2024) have all passed.

Two Department of Buildings complaints were recorded in 2023-2024: one regarding illegal after-hours work (no violation found) and another concerning an unpermitted business sign (currently active violation with a $1,280 penalty). Housing Maintenance Code violations include various maintenance issues that require attention, though some have been properly closed following inspections. The property has a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints filed and varying resolutions, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges that affect resident comfort.
