Augrented Insights Report for 3940 Carpenter Avenue

3940 Carpenter Avenue is a 6-story, 75-unit New Law tenement building located in Wakefield, built in 1928 and currently owned by Steven Finkelstein. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout recent years, with particularly concerning patterns emerging in 2025 including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and elevator maintenance issues in June 2025. Between February and March 2025, there were several complaints regarding heating and hot water outages affecting the entire building, though inspections generally indicated these issues were resolved promptly.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring source of complaints, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2025, including two ECB violations in 2022 related to improper installation of DLM and fireman service. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges in apartment 6C, with open housing maintenance code violations as of October 2024 related to pest infestations, water leaks, and various repair needs. Similar issues have been documented in other units, including apartment 2H.

Rodent inspections conducted between 2020 and 2023 displayed intermittent rat activity, with the most recent inspections in 2023 showing failed compliance results. The building's exterior has been noted for maintenance issues, with an active ECB violation from 2024 citing missing cement and chipped bricks throughout the facade. While the building has maintained an active bedbug-free record since 2019, these infestations have historically been a concern, with one documented case in 2017-2018. The property has demonstrated ongoing issues with basic building systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints regarding heat, hot water, and electrical systems throughout 2025, though many of these were resolved promptly through HPD interventions.
