Augrented Insights Report for 78 Ellwood Street

78 Ellwood Street is a 5-story residential building constructed in 1918, containing 30 units, and currently owned by 82 Ellwood Street Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past five years, with the most current concerns in 2025 involving mold, flooring issues, and water-related problems. There were multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024-2025, including a February 2025 emergency report that was resolved when occupants confirmed restoration of services.

The building has also faced significant plumbing and water supply issues, currently represented by two open emergency complaints from June 2025. A notable cluster of violations was documented in July 2024, primarily affecting apartment 1A, including issues with plumbing, water leaks, and multiple instances of damaged plaster/paint surfaces. The property has a history of rodent activity, with inspection results indicating "Rat Activity" consistently between 2022 and 2025.

There were significant gas-related concerns in 2019, when three separate ECB violations were issued regarding unpermitted gas line installations in apartment 2C, resulting in penalties totaling $10,000, though these violations have since been resolved. The building's bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation issues, with only one documented case in 2019, and subsequent yearly reports (2020-2024) indicating zero infested units. While the property has addressed various maintenance issues over time, the recurring nature of plumbing, mold, and water-related problems, as well as ongoing rodent concerns, suggest persistent environmental challenges that require ongoing attention.
