Augrented Insights Report for 551 Wales Avenue

551 Wales Avenue, a 67-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement built in 1929, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years under the ownership of Kenneth Moslin. Most notably, the building has persistent elevator problems, with multiple violations between 2020-2025 regarding missing door lock monitoring and emergency phone issues, resulting in substantial penalties totaling over $40,000. The building is currently facing active complaints regarding elevator service, and in 2024, it had significant violations including water leaks, lead paint hazards, and mold in apartment 306.

Recent 311 complaints in 2025 have documented water leaks, unsanitary conditions including pests, and issues with paint/plaster throughout the building. The property has a concerning history of plumbing and maintenance problems, with multiple emergency plumbing complaints between 2024-2025, including issues with sinks, showers, and water supply systems. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations related to energy efficiency requirements, including failure to submit required reports and display energy scores.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections, there have been previous rodent activity concerns documented between 2016-2018. There is a mixed history of bedbug infestations, with three documented instances between 2019-2022, though recent filings indicate no current infestations. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring issues, with many violations remaining open for extended periods, indicating challenges with timely resolution of maintenance problems.
