Augrented Insights Report for 2161 Barnes Avenue

2161 Barnes Avenue is a 72-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Rhino Assets LLC. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heating systems, water supply, and general maintenance. Between late 2024 and mid-2025, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems, including emergency reports of no heat or hot water affecting either entire building or individual apartments.

More recently, as of March 2025, there are ongoing complaints regarding indoor air quality involving human feces (as of February 2025) and apparent sanitation issues with pests (opened June 2025). The building has also demonstrated problems with appliance maintenance, specifically regarding electric/gas ranges, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025. Significant structural and regulatory concerns have been documented, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations in apartment 5I regarding water leaks, mold, door issues, and floor conditions. The building's facade has been subject to scrutiny, with violations for broken bricks and mortar issues, particularly on the east elevation, noted as potentially hazardous.

There are also multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to submit required inspection reports (EER) and facade maintenance documentation. While bedbug incidents have been recorded in the past (2019-2020), recent reports (2021-2024) indicate no infestation issues. The building has experienced periodic rat activity, with recent inspections in 2025 showing continuing rodent presence, though some inspections in subsequent years have passed. The elevator system has been a recurring point of concern, with multiple complaints and violations regarding its operation, though some recent complaints were dismissed during inspections.
