Augrented Insights Report for 2965 Briggs Avenue

The 37-unit, 5-story apartment building at 2965 Briggs Avenue in Norwood, owned by Arnold Kotzen, has experienced significant heat and water issues throughout 2025, with ten emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between March 4 and March 20, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints followed several earlier violations from late 2024, including heat supply problems in apartment 12A.

Additional building concerns were documented in December 2024, including issues with a broken window guard, unsanitary mold conditions, and various maintenance violations in multiple apartments. The property has also faced safety and maintenance challenges over recent years, with violations issued in 2022 for electrical and gas safety concerns, though these were resolved with penalties.

Rodent inspections showed mixed results in 2021, with rat activity noted in both August 2021 and November 2021, though more recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 passed without issues. The building's owners failed to file required energy benchmarking reports in 2019, which resulted in a violation, though this was ultimately dismissed after confirming submission. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the mandatory filings from 2021 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections have consistently passed.
