Augrented Insights Report for 2704 Decatur Avenue

2704 Decatur Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Melvin Newhouse. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during winter months, with multiple complaints regarding these services affecting either individual apartments or the entire building between late 2023 and 2024.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, most notably in Apartment 3A, where inspections in 2024 revealed multiple violations including mold, plumbing issues, and problems with fixtures and appliances. The property has a significant history of electrical system concerns, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints from 2021-2022 regarding defective/exposed wiring, and active Environmental Control Board violations related to electrical system failures with associated penalties. Recent maintenance records show that the building has passed rodent inspections conducted in 2022-2024, though there were indications of rat activity in September 2020.

The building's bedbug reporting history since 2021 shows no reported infestations in recent years, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating zero infested or eradicated units. While many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, including a refrigerator violation and various heat/hot water issues, the pattern of recurring heating problems and the presence of active electrical violations suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's maintenance history also includes various plumbing issues, with multiple violations and service requests related to toilets, sinks, and bathtubs between 2023 and 2024.
