Augrented Insights Report for 839 Fox Street

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 839 Fox Street in Longwood, owned by Oscar Kohn, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent problems emerging in late 2024. Notable recent incidents include multiple complaints from August 2024 regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and flooring problems, with floor violations officially cited.

The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges related to heat and hot water systems, with complaints in November 2023 about apartment-specific issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their investigation. Earlier violations from 2024 show infestations of mice and roaches in apartment 8, with other violations including defective doors, a corroded cornice, and missing street numbers being documented and subsequently certified as corrected.

Historically, the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, including mold issues (2023), multiple plumbing problems (2021, 2024), and problems with paint and plaster (2021, 2023). A significant inspection in 2021 revealed multiple boiler-related violations including defective door functionality and corroded fittings, while recent 2024 inspections noted ongoing flooring issues in apartment 3. Despite these problems, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the last four reporting periods (2021-2023), and rodent inspections since 2012 have generally shown compliance, with only one instance of rat activity recorded in 2013.
