Augrented Insights Report for 1606 Townsend Avenue

The property at 1606 Townsend Avenue, located in Mount Eden, is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Chandani Persaud. The building has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding illegal conversions between 2019 and 2025, with most cases resulting in Oath Violations being served.

Significant open violations remain regarding improper bedbug reporting, including three active violations from 2022-2024. The property underwent multiple emergency repairs in 2018, including issues with doors, windows, and mold, while more recent concerns include a May 2025 rat sighting complaint.

However, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection occurring in May 2025. The property maintains an active status regarding several DOB Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021, specifically regarding unauthorized basement modifications including conversion to a dental office and unauthorized construction work, with associated penalties of $1,250. Despite these violations, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with various inspections, consistently passing rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and 2025, though it missed filing the 2018 external low-pressure inspection requirement according to a 2023 violation.
