Augrented Insights Report for 537 8th Street

537 8th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Sari Ancona. The building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent years, with the most concerning issues being related to sanitation and rodent problems. Between March and May 2024, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding mold (unsanitary conditions), as well as issues with plumbing (steam pipes/riser and radiator), electrical systems (outlet/switch), and heat/hot water systems.

The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with at least one inspection each month from February to November 2023 consistently showing signs of rat presence. The property has also faced various safety compliance issues, particularly in apartment 4R, where recent violations from May 2024 included defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, exposed electrical wires, and interior maintenance concerns. Earlier violations were recorded in apartment 2L in late 2023 regarding window guards and door conditions.

Heating system problems are evident in the building's history, with emergency complaints about heat and hot water systems occurring in 2020 and 2024, and past violations related to boiler defects in 2020-2021. The building underwent several inspections by the Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board, with some violations resulting in monetary penalties, though most have been resolved. While the property has demonstrated a consistent pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention, recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestation cases, suggesting compliance with pest management protocols.
