AI summary · updated June 2026

The 5-story, 35-unit New Law Tenement building at 975 Union Avenue in Longwood, owned by Urban Property Management Corp, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring heat and hot water problems, with three documented incidents in 2024-2025 affecting the entire building, including verified complaints in March 2025 and December 2024. There is also a current open complaint from January 2025 regarding multiple maintenance issues including paint/plaster work needed on walls and ceilings, door repairs, and a safety concern related to smoke detectors. A heavy water leak issue was reported and addressed in March 2025, though the building has also experienced persistent water-related problems as evidenced by multiple open violations from August 2024 concerning unit 26, including leaks affecting the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, and various repair needs in the unit's walls and floors.

The building's infrastructure has faced challenges as well, with a Department of Buildings complaint from May 2023 about a defective/inoperative boiler leading to an Environmental Control Board violation with a $3,125 penalty related to safety concerns with the fuel oil burning system. While the building has maintained generally good rodent inspection results with multiple passes since 2012, it has accumulated several open violations regarding the failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades, with citations dating back to 2021 and running through 2024. The property's maintenance record shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed regarding building-wide systems and unit-specific maintenance concerns.
