AI summary · updated June 2026

This 5-story, 26-unit New Law Tenement building at 3264 Decatur Avenue in Norwood, owned by Vito Sacchetti, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in 2025, most notably recurring problems with heat/hot water systems and water leaks. Between January and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, with tenants frequently reporting these issues through 311, though most were resolved relatively quickly, often with HPD being informed that conditions had been corrected. More recently, there have been two distinct incidents of heavy water leaks in April 2025, suggesting ongoing plumbing or water infrastructure challenges.

The building has a documented history of pest control issues, with a significant infestation problem noted in December 2024 in apartment 3D, where multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded for various issues including defective doors, electrical problems, and safety equipment deficiencies. These violations were officially certified for correction in December 2024. The property also underwent structural monitoring in early 2023 due to concerns about a partially collapsed rear retaining wall, though subsequent inspections in 2023 and December 2023 showed these violations were dismissed. While the building appeared to pass recent rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, the history shows periods of rat activity as recently as 2022, indicating ongoing challenges with pest control.
