Augrented Insights Report for 3540 Dekalb Avenue

The five-story, 31-unit building at 3540 Dekalb Avenue in Norwood, owned by Joan Razza, has experienced recurring issues with heating and plumbing systems throughout early 2025. Most recently, in May 2025, there are open complaints regarding plumbing issues with basins/sinks, toilets, and water leaks involving heavy flow.

The building has also faced multiple heating and hot water complaints since late 2024 through 2025, with several incidents requiring HPD intervention. Notable violations were documented in Apartment 4 in June 2024, including issues with mold, broken windows, floor damage, and various bathroom maintenance problems, though most of these were subsequently addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history shows persistent rodent-related challenges, with multiple inspections indicating rat activity between 2020 and 2025, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 indicated compliance.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported occurrences from 2019 through 2024. A minor administrative violation regarding energy benchmarking was filed in 2022 but was dismissed upon confirmation of submission. The building's age (built in 1927) and recent maintenance history suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly with heating systems and plumbing.
