Augrented Insights Report for 451 East 159th Street

The five-story, 24-unit building at 451 East 159th Street in Melrose, constructed in 2019, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over its short history. Most recently, in July 2024, the building was found to be attracting rodents, with a follow-up inspection scheduled by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2022 and January 2022, when multiple emergency complaints were logged, though some were eventually closed after heat and hot water were reportedly restored. During its construction phase in 2019-2020, the property faced numerous safety and compliance violations, resulting in fines totaling $22,500. These included failures to maintain proper safety equipment, inadequate housekeeping, and not maintaining required jobsite documentation.

While the building has maintained a positive record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the last four annual filings from 2022-2024, it has experienced persistent rodent control challenges, with rat activity recorded in multiple inspections between 2018 and 2024. The most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance of required documentation and permits between 2019 and 2021, including several construction-related permits during the initial build phase.
