Augrented Insights Report for 454 East 160th Street

The 28-unit, 5-story building at 454 East 160th Street in Melrose, owned by Herman Lefkowitz, has a complex history of maintenance and safety issues. Recent complaints from early 2025 indicate ongoing concerns with inadequate heat, flooring problems, water leaks, and unsatisfactory paint conditions.

More significantly, from March 2025, multiple emergency violations were recorded indicating problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, pest infestations, mold, and safety concerns with doors and windows. The building has also faced serious violations regarding heating systems and water supply, with residents recently reporting inadequate heating conditions in 2025. The property has documented persistent issues with pests, including mice and roaches, particularly affecting apartments 3E and 5D, and an ongoing rodent baiting program from 2021-2023 revealing repeated rat activity.

External building concerns include multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to unsafe fire escapes, cracked masonry, and parapet issues. The building's maintenance record shows numerous Housing Maintenance Code violations throughout 2024-2025, including problems with lead paint compliance, unsanitary conditions, and various repairs needed to flooring, ceilings, and walls. While the building has been responsive to some complaints, as evidenced by inspections and resolution of certain issues, the frequency and variety of violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety.
