Augrented Insights Report for 3540 Decatur Avenue

3540 Decatur Avenue is a 6-story, 68-unit residential building located in Norwood, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by 1394 Bpr Realty Corp. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water system problems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed by tenants between February and May 2025, including both emergency and non-emergency complaints.

There are also ongoing open complaints regarding plumbing issues (bathtub/shower) and window frame problems from May 2025 that require attention. The building underwent significant violations in December 2024 when Apartment 6G was found with multiple issues including insufficient heat, lack of hot water, missing window guards, and non-functional safety devices, though these violations were certified as corrected by late December 2024. The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with complaints about single device service and no alternate service options dating back to 2018, with the most recent complaint in 2024 being closed with no violations found upon inspection.

There have been multiple inspections and treatment attempts for rat activity in recent years, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing persistent issues. Safety and maintenance violations have been documented regarding door systems and building security, including issues with self-closing doors and fire doors noted in December 2024. While the building has not reported any bedbug infestations in recent years (with consistent reports showing zero infested units), there are active violations pending resolution related to various administrative code requirements, including parking structure reporting and energy efficiency documentation, dating from 2019 through 2024.
