Augrented Insights Report for 976 Simpson Street

The 5-story, 15-unit tenement building at 976 Simpson Street in the Longwood neighborhood has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent concerns centering around pest control and electrical problems. In March 2025, two separate complaints about pest-related unsanitary conditions were filed with HPD, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The building has a history of water-related issues, with multiple "heavy flow" water leak complaints recorded in 2024 and 2021, some of which were categorized as emergencies.

The property has been cited for significant maintenance violations, including active ECB violations from 2020 related to exterior damage with vertical cracks and peeling paint, affecting windows on multiple floors. There is also a concerning pattern of unaddressed documentation requirements, with several active violations in 2023-2024 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspection reports, dating back to 2018. The building's record shows multiple instances of pest-related violations, including a 2021 infestation of roaches and mice documented in apartment 2A.

Safety concerns have been noted, including inspection violations for non-functioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in 2A. Building stability concerns were raised with two separate complaints about shaking/vibrating in 2020 and 2021, though these were closed with no violations warranted upon inspection. While the building passed its most recent rodent inspection in November 2023, there have been periods of rat activity (2019) and other pest-related failures in previous years. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely response to and resolution of building violations and complaints, particularly regarding access for inspections and documentation compliance.
