Augrented Insights Report for 1647 Union Street

1647 Union Street is a 27-unit, 4-story residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by Abraham Schwartz and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints registered between January and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. This pattern of heating system problems appears to be ongoing, with additional emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues reported in April and June 2025.

The building has also faced notable maintenance challenges, including plumbing problems in both 2024 and 2025, and several violations issued in December 2024 related to flooring, walls, and unsanitary mold conditions. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have come under scrutiny, particularly in late 2024, when violations were documented in apartment 2E regarding lead paint hazards, water leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and various repair needs including issues with walls, ceilings, and bathroom fixtures. These violations, while noted in December 2024, were certified as addressed by early 2025.

The property has active Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file benchmarking reports of energy use from 2019-2023 and an external low-pressure inspection from 2018. Regular rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with only one instance of rat activity noted in 2018, and no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, according to the building's bedbug reporting history. While some construction-related violations related to tenant protection were issued in 2020 concerning proper posting and distribution of materials during work, these appear to have been resolved.
