Augrented Insights Report for 55 East 208th Street

55 East 208th Street is a 6-story, 39-unit residential building in Norwood, constructed in 1954 and currently owned by Jim Frantz. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints documented throughout 2024, including a significant building-wide outage in December 2024. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, including problems with doors (multiple violations regarding self-closing doors), lighting (particularly in 2024), and plumbing issues, including an April 2024 bathtub/shower problem and slow water leak.

The building's elevator system has experienced outages, notably documented in an August 2021 complaint, which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation. Recent inspections regarding rodent activity have shown mixed results, with rat sightings reported in 2024, though the most recent inspections have passed. The building's maintenance record shows some stability regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2022-2025).

There are several active violations as of 2025, including an unaddressed violation regarding the parking structure initial observation report. Historical data from 2019 through 2023 shows various compliance issues gradually being addressed, including multiple instances of emergency repairs needed for doors and building systems. While efforts have been made to correct various issues, the recurring heating system problems and door maintenance violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
