1710 Hoe Avenue is a 5-story, 35-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1917 and currently owned by Peter Bourbeau. The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints regarding basic services and habitability issues. Notable recent incidents include heat and hot water access issues in December 2024, emergency plumbing problems in May 2025, and persistent issues with mold (noted as an emergency in May 2025). The building has a documented history of maintenance violations that affect resident safety and comfort, including multiple plumbing issues, problematic flooring, and an ongoing need for repairs to various elements such as walls, ceilings, and bathroom fixtures.

The property has also shown a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges, with several open violations as of 2024-2025, particularly concerning the 3F apartment. These violations include problems with door hardware, smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality, and bathroom maintenance issues. While the building has passed all recent rodent inspections (most recently in 2022), it has experienced pest control challenges in the past, with documented infestations in 2019 and 2020. The building underwent infrastructure improvements in 2020, with some environmental violations related to outdoor lighting, though these were resolved with penalties.

A concerning pattern of maintenance issues is evident in the bedbug reporting history, which shows periodic infestations between 2019 and 2022, though the most recent filings from 2022 onward indicate no current infestations. The property has been subject to multiple inspections and service requests, revealing a range of maintenance issues from appliance problems (including refrigerator complaints) to structural concerns (such as paint/plaster issues and door/window problems). While some violations have been closed through correction, several remain open, including issues with doors and basic apartment maintenance requirements. The building's age and history suggest ongoing maintenance needs, with particular attention required for basic services and apartment upkeep based on recent complaint patterns.
