Augrented Insights Report for 640 Wales Avenue

640 Wales Avenue is a five-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building in Longwood, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Stacey Shurgin. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with two active water leak complaints reported in 2025 (one slow leak and one damp spot), and a history of similar problems documented in previous years, including a closed slow leak complaint from 2024.

The property has also faced multiple maintenance challenges, including heat and hot water issues (with one emergency complaint in 2024), flooring concerns (four separate flooring/stairs complaints in 2023), and some historical mold problems. Notable outstanding violations from an August 2023 inspection include a failure to properly post gas leak procedures and the Housing Information Guide notice, both on the first story. The building has generally maintained good pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and a passed rodent inspection in September 2023.

Previous violations from 2021 concerning apartment 12's bathroom and foyer plaster surfaces and water leaks remain open, as do violations from 2021-2022 related to apartment 6's bathroom conditions. The property has shown some responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by several closed complaints where HPD verified corrections, but the persistence of water-related issues and open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has had consistent annual bedbug reporting showing no active infestations since 2018, with only two units infested in 2017-2018 which were confirmed eradicated.
