Augrented Insights
AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 789 Dawson Street in Longwood, owned by Miguel Tejeda, has a notable history of housing maintenance violations spanning multiple years. Most concerning is the pattern of unfiled annual bedbug reports, with violations recorded in April 2024, March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021 - all of which remain open as of the current date. These recurring violations suggest an ongoing oversight issue regarding compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements.

On a more positive note, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections over a decade-long period, with successful inspections recorded in January 2023, August 2017, November 2015, December 2012, and both June and December 2010. This track record indicates effective pest management in terms of rodent control. The building, constructed in 1898 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, has maintained its structural integrity through regular inspections, though the persistent bedbug reporting violations represent a notable area of non-compliance that spans multiple ownership periods.

What's driving this score

Neighborhood location
