Augrented Insights Report for 1280 Commonwealth Avenue

1280 Commonwealth Avenue is a 6-story, 68-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by Maria Matthews. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and February 2025, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. There are also documented plumbing problems, including water supply issues in August 2024 and a sewage-related unsanitary condition in September 2024.

More recent concerns include an active Environmental Control Board violation from March 2024 regarding elevator safety and operation, with a penalty of $1,250, and an unanswered noise complaint from April 2025. The building has a history of various maintenance issues, with the most significant recent violations documented in 2023-2024. These include multiple violations regarding self-closing doors, window repairs, and code compliance issues.

Of particular concern is an active ECB violation from 2020 regarding facade maintenance, with documented vertical and step cracks on the building exterior. The property has undergone several inspections for rodent activity, with 2023 inspections showing ongoing issues, though there have been some passed inspections as well. The bedbug reporting history shows minimal infestation cases, with only one confirmed case in 2022 and none reported since 2023. While some violations have been resolved, including various housing maintenance code violations, the recurring nature of heating system issues and the active elevator safety violation suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
