Augrented Insights Report for 428 East 157th Street

The 21-unit, 5-story tenement building at 428 East 157th Street in Melrose, owned by Salvatore D'avola, has a documented history of maintenance and habitability issues, particularly between 2023-2025. Most concerning are the multiple open violations as of 2024-2025, including mold problems in apartments 2A and 4C, plumbing issues affecting both hot and cold water in apartment 4C, and various maintenance needs including a broken window mechanism in 4C and defective tiles in 2B.

The building experienced significant problems in July 2024, with multiple violations issued for issues including flooring, mold, plumbing, pest control, wall maintenance, cabinet problems, and unsanitary conditions. Recent activity includes a May 2025 smoking complaint (now closed) and previous heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building in December 2024.

The building's infrastructure has also faced challenges, with active DOB violations related to external inspections and permitting from 2019 and 2024 respectively. While there have been periodic rat activity inspections between 2012 and 2023 showing consistent evidence of rodent presence, bedbug reports from 2021 to 2025 indicate no current infestations, with only previous isolated incidents in 2020 and 2021. The building's recent history demonstrates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water systems, mold management, and general building upkeep.
