Augrented Insights Report for 1641 Melville Street

The three-story, six-unit building at 1641 Melville Street in Van Nest, owned by Moses Rabinovits and constructed in 1901, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heating and hot water problems in late 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed in November and December 2023 about system failures affecting the entire building. While some of these complaints were resolved, several inspections could not gain access to verify conditions.

The building has also faced electrical issues, including a lighting failure in November 2023, and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations in November 2023. Further inspections in 2024 revealed multiple violations in Apartment 3R, including problems with kitchen floor tiles, sink cabinet, plaster surfaces, and various other maintenance deficiencies. The building's safety history includes a serious concern in 2020 regarding a locked/blocked egress that resulted in an ECB violation.

Two significant violations in 2018 cited illegal conversions and work without proper permits, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties. Recent inspection records indicate the building passed rodent inspections in 2022, but there was a history of compliance failures in earlier years. Current active violations involve failure to file required inspection reports for external low pressure systems and boiler inspections from 2019 and 2024, respectively. However, recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 show no infestation issues.
