Augrented Insights Report for 975 Simpson St

The 376-unit, 6-story building at 975 Simpson Street in Longwood, owned by Jennifer Lau and completed in 2017, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025. Currently, there are multiple open complaints with HPD regarding a malfunctioning refrigerator, cooking gas problems, and door issues, alongside several other unresolved appliance and plumbing complaints. Notable concerns include two active housing maintenance code violations from December 2024 related to inadequate hot water supply in apartments 6D and 6J, and access issues to the building's heating system.

There has been a recurring rodent issue, with multiple inspections between 2023 and 2024 confirming rat activity and requiring bait application. The building has an active bedbug eradication program in place, though recent reports show minimal infestation (1 unit reported in 2024). Structural and safety concerns are documented through various violations and complaints, including those related to elevator service continuity, door hardware problems, and ventilation issues in the boiler room.

The elevator system has been a recurring focus of complaints, with multiple reports of single device operation and no alternate service between 2019-2023. Recent environmental control board violations from 2024-2025 highlight maintenance concerns including elevator system maintenance, building façade condition, and boiler room ventilation. Historical data shows that the building's elevator system has experienced regular service interruptions, though inspections often found no violations warranting penalties. The property has also faced various building code violations related to door security, heating system access, and water supply, with some previous violations showing proper resolution while others remain open.
