Augrented Insights Report for 1246 Castle Hill Avenue

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 1246 Castle Hill Avenue in Unionport, owned by Domingo Cepeda, has a concerning record of violations and maintenance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there are active violations as of 2024 for failure to file annual inspections, including a bedbug report (violations from 2022, 2023, and 2024) and a low-pressure inspection (September 2024), as well as facade-related violations from April 2022 regarding cracked window lintels and defective mortar joints on the west elevation, for which a $6,250 penalty was imposed. The building has encountered serious safety concerns, with immediate emergency violations issued in early 2022 requiring fire guards due to dangerous fire hazard conditions, along with fire escape safety issues also documented in 2022.

Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from January 2022 indicate problems with required safety postings, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, as well as concerns about unauthorized alterations to the public hall. Since 2010, the building has passed rodent inspections, suggesting no current pest infestation issues. The building's regulatory history reveals significant ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety compliance and required inspections.

The property has documented complaints about heat and hot water issues (January 2022), and concerns about egress from the fourth-floor apartment. Historical violations from 2019-2022 suggest a pattern of delayed or incomplete compliance with city regulations, including a 2019 violation for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report. While some violations from earlier years have been resolved, numerous open violations as of 2024 indicate persistent maintenance oversight.
