Augrented Insights Report for 1549 Townsend Avenue

1549 Townsend Avenue is a 6-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1950, currently owned by Josh Hubi. The building has experienced recurring infrastructure issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints in 2025 regarding flooring, plumbing, and heating systems, including three plumbing-related emergencies in June 2025 alone. There are also ongoing concerns about rat activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 confirming presence, most recently in June 2025.

The building has several open housing maintenance code violations from 2024-2025, including issues with self-closing doors in emergency exit pathways on the 1st and 6th floors that could impact safety. Notably, there are active ECB violations from 2024 regarding building facade maintenance and emergency exit passageway obstruction, along with elevator system compliance issues that have persisted since 2019-2020. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of access issues during inspections, particularly with five separate complaints in 2025 (including flooring, plumbing, and cooking gas issues) where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises.

Additional inspections have revealed concerns about mold in public areas, water leaks (with violations issued), and various elevator system violations requiring attention. While there have been occasional bedbug reports between 2020-2024, recent filings indicate no active infestations in the past two years. The building's permit history shows at least one permit issued in 2021, but the frequency of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that will require monitoring.
