Augrented Insights Report for 464 East 159th Street

The 30-unit, 6-story apartment building at 464 East 159th Street in Melrose, owned by Richard Sica, has experienced ongoing heating and water maintenance issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints registered with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding heat and hot water problems between December 2024 and March 2025. The building, constructed in 1925, has several open violations, including one from December 2024 concerning household items and garbage bags in the public hall on the 3rd story, and multiple open violations from May 2024 relating to water leaks and ceiling issues in apartment 6E, as well as a rodent infestation that was documented at that time.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with several complaints about single device operation and lack of alternate service, though recent inspections in 2023-2024 found no violations or resulted in resolved citations. The building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with zero reported infestations between 2020 and 2024, and has demonstrated mixed results in rodent inspections, with the most recent passing inspection in March 2023 following previous failures and rat activity reports in 2012, 2010, and 2017.

Infrastructure issues have included multiple heat and hot water outages, as well as concerns about unsanitary conditions related to pests in August 2024, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection. The building has a history of receiving proper permits for various work, with multiple electrical work permits issued in 2019, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts by management.
