Augrented Insights Report for 627 Wales Avenue

The 41-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement at 627 Wales Avenue in Longwood, built in 1913 and currently owned by Josue Velazquez, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, there are currently four open emergency plumbing complaints from May 2025 related to basin and sink issues.

Earlier in 2025, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with violations documented in December 2024 for apartments 1C and 1D regarding hot water temperatures and cold water supply issues. The building has also had ongoing challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by failed inspections in 2024, following previous rat activity detections in 2019. The property has open Department of Buildings violations from 2022-2023 related to failure to file required benchmarking reports and inspections, including failures to display energy efficiency scores and grades.

In 2019, there were serious boiler-related issues with violations for blocked combustion air and an improperly installed expansion tank, which remains active with a penalty of $3,125. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in recent years, the maintenance history shows persistent problems with basic services such as heat, water, and plumbing. The building's record suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance, with multiple open violations and recent emergency service requests indicating continued resident dissatisfaction with basic services.
