Augrented Insights Report for 2165 Matthews Avenue

The 6-story, 62-unit building at 2165 Matthews Avenue, built in 1959 and currently owned by Crystal Carr, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems throughout 2023-2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed for the entire building. While some complaints were resolved by HPD verification, recent complaints (most recently in October 2024) indicate potential ongoing problems, as inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced persistent elevator access issues, with six complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2018 and 2025, including an active complaint as of February 2025.

Structural concerns have been documented, particularly regarding walls and retaining structures, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 about bulging/cracking. Recent inspections in October 2024 revealed several open violations requiring attention: these include issues with self-closing doors in Stair A (both basement and 6th story), broken or defective latch sets at Stair A and Compactor Closet doors, and problems with the intercom system. The building also has multiple active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to file required documentation and display energy efficiency information.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 suggest historical concerns about fire safety systems and exterior maintenance, with associated penalties. The property has consistently passed rodent inspections from 2018 through 2025, though there was one failed inspection in March 2025. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record in recent years, with no reported infestations in the past five filing periods between 2019 and 2025.
