Augrented Insights Report for 401 East 154th Street

The 6-story residential building at 401 East 154th Street in Melrose, owned by Rocio Cepeda, contains 26 units and was constructed in 1911. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints documented between 2019 and 2025, including significant outages reported for the entire building in October 2019, December 2019, February 2020, January 2022, and February 2024.

Other notable maintenance concerns include a broken window guard violation in 2022, a heavy water leak in 2021, and pest-related issues documented in 2018, specifically infestations in apartment 1D. The building has had proper bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, showing zero infested or re-infested units in recent filings. Safety infrastructure maintenance has been addressed in past violations, including repairs to a defective fire escape in 2018.

The most recent rodent inspection in August 2023 resulted in a "passed" status, following a previous May 2023 initial inspection that recorded rat activity. The building's food establishment (believed to be the ground floor commercial space) has recently faced health department scrutiny, with a food contamination complaint filed in 2025. Notably, there have been several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate reported problems, including during investigations of water leaks in 2021 and heat/hot water issues in 2019 and 2022, suggesting potential challenges in accessing units for repairs or inspections.
