Augrented Insights Report for 892 Melrose Avenue

892 Melrose Avenue is a 6-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Steve Baily. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in May and June 2025, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. Three notable heating system violations were issued in July 2023, one of which remains open.

The property has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance concerns, including a 2023 violation regarding defective self-closing doors at the street entrance and issues with the intercom system in apartment 3A. Multiple Department of Buildings violations remain active as of 2023 related to unfiled external low pressure inspections for the years 2020-2022, and a separate ECB violation regarding unauthorized construction of a partition wall in apartment 4A from November 2022, though there is a history of attempts to access the unit for inspection. The building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history from 2019-2024, with only two instances of infestation reported (in 2019 and 2021), and none in the past three years.

Recent rodent inspections have shown consistent rat activity in 2023, with violations noted in both July and September 2023. Housing Maintenance Code violations from May 2023 include required repairs to plaster surfaces and painting in apartment 2A, as well as work needed on the building's fire escape and bulkhead ceiling. The property has a documented history of heating system issues, door maintenance problems, and sanitary condition complaints, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage in 2024. While many service requests have been closed following inspections, the pattern of recurring heating issues and pest control challenges suggests ongoing maintenance concerns within the building.
