Augrented Insights Report for 2620 Fredrick Douglass Bl

The 2620 Frederick Douglass Boulevard building is a 6-story, 46-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1926, currently owned by David Schwartz. The property has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded since late 2024 through early 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, there were open violations in December 2024 regarding inadequate heating in Apartment 1 and access issues to the heating system, though some violations were subsequently closed.

Other significant maintenance concerns include plumbing issues (specifically regarding basins/sinks), pest infestations, and a notable open violation from November 2024 in Apartment 36 regarding roach infestation in the kitchen. Recent inspections have revealed varying degrees of compliance with city regulations, with the building passing some rodent inspections in 2025 while failing others, particularly in April 2025. Safety concerns have been addressed through various violations and complaints, including required repairs to smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 64 (November 2024), as well as issues with hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in the same apartment.

The building's elevator system has experienced recurring complaints, though inspections typically found no violations. While the property has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in recent annual filings, the building's maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with basic services and regular violations that require monitoring. The most recent building inspection records from 2025 suggest intermittent compliance with housing maintenance codes, with some open violations remaining unresolved.
