Augrented Insights Report for 1505 Townsend Avenue

The 6-story, 74-unit building at 1505 Townsend Avenue in Mount Eden, currently owned by Moshe Piller, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns with water-related problems, including multiple violations for water leaks and mold conditions documented between April and June 2025, affecting both walls and ceilings. The building has also faced recurring elevator issues, with multiple complaints indicating the single-device elevator system is often out of service or requires repairs, resulting in fines totaling $2,500 in May 2024 for various mechanical deficiencies and safety concerns.

Recent inspections have revealed additional challenges, including documented rat activity during multiple inspections from March 2024 through June 2025, indicating a persistent pest control issue. The building has also experienced electrical problems (insufficient lighting), sanitation concerns (including mold and unsanitary conditions), and plumbing issues affecting water supply. Noteworthy historical violations include building facade concerns from 2024, with documented step cracks and masonry issues, though some of these violations are listed as resolved.

The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing bedbug inspections, with no confirmed infestations reported in the last several cycles from 2021 to present. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple violations requiring attention to basic services like heat, hot water, and essential infrastructure systems. While some past violations have been closed, new complaints continue to emerge, suggesting ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident comfort.
