Augrented Insights Report for 1240 Westchester Avenue

As of July 2025, 1240 Westchester Avenue is a 6-story, 54-unit residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Evelin Castillo. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, evidenced by multiple complaints in 2025, including two open complaints from April 2025. The building has documented elevator maintenance problems, with an open complaint from May 2025 and a previously reported Class 1 violation related to out-of-service conditions in 2021 with a $6,250 penalty.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations remain unresolved, including issues with self-closing doors, latch sets, and light fixture sensors in the public areas as of late 2024. Recent inspections and complaints indicate persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and safety features. The property has a history of sprinkler system complaints (2024-2025) and appliance-related issues, with violations documented in 2025.

While bedbug infestations have been minimal in recent years, with only one recorded case between 2019-2020, and rodent inspections have generally passed, the building continues to face infrastructure challenges. The Department of Buildings has active and unresolved violations as of 2023-2024 related to energy efficiency requirements, including failure to display energy scores and grades. Recent complaints about unauthorized smoking in smoke-free areas (2025) and various emergency maintenance issues suggest ongoing resident quality of life concerns that warrant attention.
