Augrented Insights Report for 681 Melrose Avenue

681 Melrose Avenue is a 5-story, 12-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Josh Hubi. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with two heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 (March and February) and multiple radiator-related emergency complaints in January 2025.

A significant cluster of maintenance issues was documented in August 2024, including violations related to window frames, flooring, and an electric range, while separate inspections in September 2024 revealed various violations including problems with exterior flashing, window components in Apartment 6, and a broken glass pane in the vestibule door. The building has been actively monitored for rodent activity, with inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing consistent rat activity and regular bait applications, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024, including requirements to repair concrete flashing and vegetation issues on exterior walls. The property has also undergone several Department of Buildings inspections, with varying outcomes, including a Partial Stop Work Order in February 2025 for work without a permit.
