Augrented Insights Report for 1540 Longfellow Avenue

1540 Longfellow Avenue is a 10-unit, 2-story residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Mayer Kaufman. The property has experienced recurring pest issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests, including an open complaint as of June 2025 and several complaints from 2024-2025 that required HPD intervention.

There are also significant water-related concerns, with multiple leaking issues documented between 2024 and 2025, including heavy flows and damp spots, though some complaints were not fully inspectable by HPD. The building underwent a major renovation phase in late 2023 to early 2024, which generated several construction-related complaints, including multiple violations regarding unsafe excavation practices and construction debris in common areas, resulting in Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $6,350.

The property has had various other maintenance issues, including flooring concerns (April 2025) and an electrical power outage (June 2025). While there have been no recent bedbug infestations reported (most recent filings in 2024 and 2021 showed zero infestation), the building has faced ongoing rodent control challenges, with inspections showing failed compliance results in 2022 and 2023, though some baiting efforts were successful in 2017 and 2018. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved issues and some ongoing concerns, particularly regarding water damage and pest control, with violations related to water leaks in the basement apartment (LB) remaining open as of the latest inspection in October 2024.
