Augrented Insights Report for 2254 Cedar Avenue

The 6-story, 62-unit building at 2254 Cedar Avenue, owned by Ignacio Castillo, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints documented between January 2024 and January 2025. The building, constructed in 1927 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has also faced various maintenance challenges, including water leaks and ceiling damage in apartment 1I (identified in 2024), pest infestations in apartment 1G (noted in March 2024), and a significant unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage in mid-2023.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections, showing mixed results between 2016 and 2024, with "Passed" results most recently in May 2024, following some prior inspections indicating rat activity. In terms of building safety and compliance, the property has multiple active and historical violations. Currently active violations include failure to display energy efficiency scores and grades (since 2021) and a 2023 violation regarding the heavy-duty lock and latch set at the entrance door.

The building has maintained a clean bedbug record since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years. Recent concerns have also included unauthorized sign installation (2023), which resulted in a penalty, and various Housing Maintenance Code violations related to interior maintenance issues. The building's management has typically addressed violations following inspection, as evidenced by multiple certified dates showing corrections were made, though some systemic issues like heat and water problems persist.
