The 4-unit, 3-story tenement building at 221 East Tremont Avenue in the Mount Hope neighborhood has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024. Most notably, there are multiple open violations from October 2023 related to Apartment 3E, including issues with pests (mice and roaches), mold, missing smoke detectors, missing carbon monoxide detector, and unauthorized lock on a fire escape door. The building has faced persistent rodent issues, with several inspections between 2022-2025 showing rat activity, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 passed successfully.
There are also documented concerns about unauthorized unit conversions, with violations from 2020 (currently active) regarding illegal SRO conversions and unauthorized washer/dryer installations, along with incomplete bedbug reporting requirements from 2020. Recent health and safety concerns include multiple 311 complaints to HPD, with notable issues including water supply problems, electricity outages, window and cabinet problems, and unsanitary conditions including mold.

The property owner, Sang Kim, has faced multiple fines and penalties, including a recent $6,000 fine related to failure to comply with a prior order.
