Augrented Insights Report for 1618 Benson Street

1618 Benson Street is a 5-story, 22-unit residential building constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Manuel Abreu. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly during 2025, with multiple plumbing-related complaints, including two water supply issues in February and June 2025. The building has faced recurring heating and water supply problems, though inspections generally found conditions did not violate housing laws.

More seriously, the property has two active Environmental Control Board violations from August 2024, each with a $2,500 penalty, concerning masonry wall disrepair and unauthorized work without permits. December 2024 inspections revealed multiple building system deficiencies, including problems with entrance doors, self-closing mechanisms, and radiator valves, along with an earlier violation for roach infestation in Apartment B. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations over the years, with particular attention to plumbing systems.

Recent inspections in 2024 showed significant building envelope concerns, while previous years noted issues with plumbing, heating systems, and various building maintenance matters. Historical data shows persistent rodent activity in 2018-2019, though more recent rodent inspections in 2024 show improved conditions. The property appears to have maintained a relatively stable pest control record recently, with no reported bedbug infestations between 2021 and 2024. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by multiple closure dates for various complaints, though inspections in 2025 showed some access difficulties for HPD inspectors attempting to assess recent complaints.
