Augrented Insights Report for 820 Franklin Avenue

820 Franklin Avenue is a 5-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by 1045 Union Associates, LLC. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025), most notably recurring problems with water supply, heat/hot water, and various safety concerns. In 2024-2025, there were multiple complaints about water supply issues (October 2024 and February 2025), with the most recent heat/hot water complaint in February 2025 being resolved promptly.

The building has also faced safety concerns, including inspections of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and cooking gas systems in March 2024, though no violations were found. A notable cluster of maintenance issues was documented in Apartment 5B following a 2024 inspection, revealing multiple violations related to plumbing fixtures, flooring, and pest infestations (mice and roaches), with violations classified as Class A and B. The building has undergone several rodent inspections between 2021 and 2025, with varying results including periods of rat activity (2025, 2024) and successful bait applications. An examination of the building's history reveals some regulatory compliance issues, including multiple failures to file required energy benchmarking reports between 2019-2020, though these violations were ultimately dismissed.

The Department of Buildings recorded several complaints in 2022 regarding boiler issues and construction work, with outcomes showing either inability to gain access or no violations observed. The building's systems have faced several challenges, including electrical issues and various maintenance requests covering safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), plumbing, and general building maintenance. While the property has shown efforts to address these concerns, as evidenced by some resolved complaints and inspections, there remain active violations from 2024 related to Apartment 5B's maintenance conditions that require attention. The most recent bedbug reports (2022-2025) indicate minimal infestation history, with the last known case from 2019-2020 showing only one affected unit, which has since been reported as eradicated.
