Augrented Insights Report for 3165 Decatur Avenue

The 6-story, 61-unit apartment building at 3165 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by David Schorr and constructed in 1928, has been experiencing persistent infrastructure challenges throughout 2025. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints between February and May 2025 documenting both building-wide and apartment-specific temperature problems, though some complaints were closed after verification of restoration.

The building has also faced significant water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and dampness, including a "heavy flow" water leak reported in March 2025 that required emergency response, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. The building's mechanical systems have shown recurring deficiencies, particularly with the elevator, which has prompted multiple complaints and violations between 2019 and 2024 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" issues, and more recent complaints in 2023-2024 concerning communication systems and safety equipment. Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing maintenance struggles, particularly in units 6A and 7A, where various maintenance issues were documented in late 2024, including problems with paint, plaster, water leaks, and bathroom fixtures.

The building's elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple violations and penalties related to communication systems and maintenance requirements between 2019-2023, including an emergency phone issue in October 2023 that incurred a $625 penalty. While the building has maintained a bed bug-free record for the past several years, there have been concerning rodent activity issues noted in 2024, with multiple inspections showing "Rat Activity" between April and October 2024, though the most recent rodent inspection in May 2025 passed. A December 2024 inspection by HPD identified multiple violations in unit 7A, though these were subsequently certified as corrected by January 2025.
