Augrented Insights Report for 496 East 161st Street

The 5-unit, 4-story building at 496 East 161st Street in Melrose, owned by Antonios Gasparis, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with the most recent complaints occurring in December 2024 and November 2024, involving the entire building. These complaints were classified as emergencies, though in the November instance, HPD was able to verify that some conditions were corrected, while in December, they were unable to gain access to inspect. The building has documented multiple rodent-related incidents between 2018 and 2024, with a significant cluster of rat activity reported in 2022 (April, June, and August), though recent inspections in October 2024 showed normal conditions.

The property has passed several rodent inspections in recent years, including the latest one in October 2024. In addition to the heating and rodent issues, the building has faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in April 2022, related to missing required safety notices and documentation in common areas, including bedbug reporting, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information. These violations were subsequently addressed and closed.

The building's bedbug reports from 2020 through 2025 indicate no infestations, with consistent reporting showing zero affected units. The building's history shows a pattern of heat/hot water complaints, with four emergency calls specifically regarding these issues between 2022 and 2024, including a notable cluster in December 2024. While the building has had periods of rodent activity, recent inspections suggest improved conditions, with the most recent October 2024 inspection passing.
