Augrented Insights Report for 1630 Macombs Road

The 1630 Macombs Road building, a 51-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Mark Engel, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of water-related problems, with multiple complaints and violations regarding plumbing and water supply issues between May and June 2025, including three emergency plumbing complaints that were closed with no violations found. The building's elevator system has also been a recurring concern, with active complaints filed in 2025 regarding the single-device elevator with no alternate service.

Recent inspections have revealed ongoing maintenance challenges, including a 2024 violation related to a leaking roof affecting apartment 5E, and multiple emergency repair requests in June 2025 for various issues including water supply problems, pest infestations, and electrical concerns. The building has a history of rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat presence, though bait was applied during these inspections. Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 indicate serious safety concerns, including issues with sprinkler systems, gas lines, and unauthorized conversions of cellar space into multiple dwelling units, with penalties totaling $15,000.

The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations in recent years, with no reported cases from 2021 onwards, and was previously known to have only two infested units in 2020. The building's management has faced challenges in addressing these various issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations remaining open or being dismissed for lack of access. However, many recent HPD inspections in 2025 have found no violations, suggesting some improvement in maintenance response. The property has also been subject to multiple Department of Buildings inspections and investigations regarding illegal conversions and unauthorized work, particularly relating to modifications made to the cellar space, though some of these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved.
