Augrented Insights Report for 740 Cranford Avenue

740 Cranford Avenue is a 4-story, 56-unit residential building constructed in 1997, currently owned by Rick Grooper. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2025 (March and January) regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific heat and hot water problems. Additionally, there have been persistent pest issues, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating unsanitary conditions due to pests, and rodent inspection failures recorded throughout 2022-2023.

Water-related problems have been common, including plumbing issues (March 2025), a heavy water leak (July 2024), and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023-2024 regarding water damage and ceiling conditions in apartments 3N and 4L/O. Recent inspections have shown some improvements, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2020, though the building does have a history of pest problems. The building's maintenance history reveals several other concerns, including a C-class violation in 2024 for an abandoned oven in a public hall, and various inspection results regarding the elevator and sidewalk shed conditions.

While there have been multiple violations and complaints, many have been promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The property has undergone regular inspection and reporting requirements, including bedbug reporting showing zero infestations in recent years. That's to mention a pattern of recurring issues with maintenance and building systems, particularly regarding heat, pests, and water-related problems, which appear to require ongoing attention. The elevator and sidewalk shed issues noted in earlier complaints were investigated and found not to warrant violations.
