Augrented Insights Report for 277 Van Cortlandt Ave E

The 63-unit, 6-story residential building at 277 Van Cortlandt Ave E in Norwood, owned by John Simonlacaj and constructed in 1967, has experienced several maintenance challenges over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with water leaks, including both emergency and non-emergency reports in 2022 and 2023, as well as multiple complaints regarding ceiling paint/plaster conditions.

The building underwent inspections in 2024 that revealed several self-closing door violations in various locations including public halls and the compactor closet on the 5th story, along with deficiencies in the boiler room door latches. An April 2024 inspection identified hot water issues in apartment 5B, and violations regarding door mechanisms were also documented during this period. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with multiple rat activity reports between 2022 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2024 showed compliance.

While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), the building has faced some infrastructure concerns, including an elevator-related violation in 2021 and issues with energy benchmarking report submissions that remain active as of 2021. A significant violation regarding DLM installation in the elevator controller was issued in 2021, and there are open matters related to the elevator's brake tag status. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with the most recent documented violations focusing on door mechanisms and water supply systems.
