Augrented Insights Report for 863 Melrose Avenue

863 Melrose Avenue is an 8-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 2006 and owned by David Mateo. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between May and June 2025, including electric problems (power outage and wiring), water leaks (heavy flow), and ceiling maintenance issues. Notably, multiple emergency complaints regarding heavy water leaks and electrical problems were submitted and subsequently closed without violations being found.

The building has an ongoing mold issue in apartment 6D (open violation since 2024) and has experienced recurring rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple rodent inspections from 2022 to 2025 showing rat activity. The elevator system has a documented history of problems, with multiple complaints about defective service between 2019 and 2024, including recurring Class 1 violations in 2022 with significant penalties. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including plumbing issues, water leaks, and problems with sanitation conditions such as mold and pests.

Several housing maintenance code violations were issued in 2024 affecting various apartments, requiring repairs to address water leaks, plaster surfaces, and other maintenance issues. While the bedbug reporting shows no infestations since 2019, the building's history of maintenance violations and the recurring nature of various problems suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. Recent inspections have shown rodent activity remains an issue, with multiple baiting operations conducted throughout 2024-2025.
