Augrented Insights Report for 680 Melrose Avenue

680 Melrose Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1904, currently owned by 680 LLC. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent months, with multiple health and safety concerns emerging in 2025 including reports of mold, sewage problems, water leaks, and a broken window guard. In March-April 2025, inspections led to the issuance of violations for mold, floor issues, wall problems, and various sanitary conditions.

The building's maintenance history shows some recurring infrastructure issues, with violations from late 2024 relating to plaster work, fire escape access, lighting, door functionality, and roof leaks. More recently, in 2025, there have been complaints regarding building vibrations, though inspections found no violations at those times. The building's systems and maintenance records indicate ongoing challenges with basic services, including a heat and hot water complaint from January 2025 and various issues with the intercom system.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with all annual reports showing zero affected units. Historical pest control records show mixed results for rodent inspections between 2010-2012, with one inspection recording rat activity in 2012. While some recent complaints have been addressed through inspections, there are open and unresolved maintenance issues that may affect resident comfort and safety.
