Augrented Insights

AI summary · updated June 2026

75 Fairview Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Stephen Chi and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with eight documented complaints between 2021 and 2025, including two in 2025 and two in 2023, all affecting the entire building. While some of these complaints were ultimately resolved, the pattern suggests ongoing challenges with the building's heating system. The property also had multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to heating systems, including an October 2022 violation for providing inadequate hot water to Apartment A on the first floor, and issues with accessing the heating system's locked door during the same inspection.

In addition to the heating problems, the building experienced cooking gas issues in 2021-2022 that warranted three emergency complaints. More recently, the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past five reporting periods from 2020 to 2025. The property has also maintained a satisfactory record regarding rodent inspections, passing all ten inspections conducted between December 2018 and January 2024. Historical violations from 2018 noted concerns about roof leaks and fire retardant material at the fourth story bulkhead, though these appear to have been addressed, as indicated by subsequent inspection results. The most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024-2025 were related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though previous years consistently showed no infestations.
