Augrented Insights Report for 7 Balfour Place

7 Balfour Place is a 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928, currently managed by Nachla Associates LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints reported between 2024 and 2025, including three separate complaints within the first four months of 2025 alone.

There are also ongoing concerns about water leaks, with the most recent complaint filed in May 2025 remaining open. The building has three open violations from September 2024 related to apartment F4, concerning defective plaster surfaces, water leaks in the closet ceiling, and a broken entrance door; additional historical violations include two C-class violations from 2022 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance. The property has faced various safety concerns over recent years, including an ECB violation in 2022 regarding obstructed fire escape access and a 2021 violation for elevator maintenance issues.

There were also two complaints about illegal conversions (2021-2022) and a gas utility referral in 2021. The building's maintenance history shows recurring challenges with building systems, particularly heating and water infrastructure, though there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed. While some violations have been resolved, the pattern of repeated heating system failures and current water leak issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the absence of recent bedbug and rodent complaints indicates improved pest control.
