Augrented Insights Report for 940 Simpson Street

The 6-story, 44-unit tenement building at 940 Simpson Street in Longwood, built in 1915 and currently owned by Ansel Duvivier, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of heating and hot water system failures affecting the entire building, with three separate emergency complaints in April 2025 and one in December 2022, though in each case, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before HPD inspection. The building has also experienced persistent water leak problems, with heavy flow incidents reported through 2024-2025, including the most recent complaint from June 2025.

Additionally, the property has faced water-related issues and mold problems in apartment 6C, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations in 2024, including an open violation regarding roof leaks in both the apartment and public hall areas. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with an active complaint as of March 2025 regarding a single device with no alternate service, following a similar complaint in September 2024 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While recent rodent inspections in 2023 show improvements with a passing grade, there was a failed inspection in February 2023.

The building historically maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four filing periods from 2021 to 2024. Recent environmental violations include an active elevator-related issue with a $1,250 penalty as of December 2024, and there are several open violations related to work without permits for unauthorized awnings. The property also has outstanding requirements for filing certain technical reports and benchmarking documents, though previous violations for these issues have been dismissed in 2022-2023.
