Augrented Insights Report for 1868 Matthews Avenue

1868 Matthews Avenue is a 3-story, 11-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently owned by Sagir Chaudhry. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2024 and 2025 affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with two such complaints in January 2025 and several in late 2024 resulting in HPD violations and emergency interventions. Additionally, there have been multiple water-related problems, including slow leaks documented in December 2023 and March 2024, and heavier flow issues in June 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows ongoing concerns with safety systems, particularly in apartment 1A, which received violations in December 2024 for missing carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and evidence of pest infestations. The building's common areas and infrastructure have required attention as evidenced by several Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations, including a December 2024 citation regarding a locked heating system access door. The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past six years (2018-2024).

However, there have been documented rodent control challenges, with several failed compliance inspections between 2017 and 2022, though a successful rodent inspection in January 2023 showed improvement. Historical records from 2019 indicate issues with boiler installation and safety compliance that resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's recent history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, which continue to require attention and prompt tenant complaints.
