Augrented Insights Report for 131 Columbia Street

Located at 131 Columbia Street in the Columbia Street neighborhood, this 4-story, 16-unit tenement building owned by Gregory O'Connell was constructed in 1910. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 including a missing signage (Feb 2025), unsanitary garbage/recycling storage (Jan 2025), water leaks, and ceiling plaster issues (both Jan 2025).

The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints from 2020 and 2022 regarding inadequate heating systems affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. Safety concerns have been noted, particularly regarding building entrances and fire escape conditions, with violations recorded in 2020-2024 related to door hardware, self-closing doors, and fire escape maintenance. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with building systems, though recent rodent inspections from early 2025 show passed compliance results, following some rat activity in January 2025.

Notably, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero reported bedbug infestations since 2019, with regular filings indicating effective management of this pest control program. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from May 2024 highlight issues with building entrance door functionality and fire resistance requirements, though these violations are currently listed as "Close" in the system. The building's inspection history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with various maintenance issues requiring attention to common areas, including public hall lighting, stairways, and door security systems.
