Augrented Insights Report for 3212 Decatur Avenue

The 5-story, 37-unit New Law Tenement at 3212 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Leka Cotaj, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaints filed in January 2025 and December 2024, though these were eventually resolved according to HPD.

The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in late 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed on December 26, 2024, regarding water leaks, mold, plumbing, electrical issues, and problems with lighting and outlets. These issues were documented as emergency situations, though HPD was unable to complete inspections and required new service requests for re-evaluation. The building has persistent mold and sanitary condition issues, particularly documented in Apartment 4B, and has faced multiple violations related to electrical safety, including exposed wires in public hallways.

Rodent activity has been a recurring concern, with inspection results showing rat activity in 2019, multiple instances in 2024, and the most recent inspection in May 2025 passing. The property has open violations related to failing to submit annual boiler inspection reports and other documentation requirements dating back to 2019-2022. While some issues have been addressed, including a compliance inspection in May 2025 showing passed results, the building continues to face ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges that affect resident quality of life and safety.
