Augrented Insights Report for 40 South Portland Ave

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 40 South Portland Ave in Fort Greene, owned by Lisa Christmas, was constructed in 1864 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning are the active violations related to boiler inspections, with multiple failures to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports from 2019 through 2024, resulting in accumulating penalties currently totaling $3,780.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, including multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2019 (with officials unable to gain access for inspection), a heavy water leak complaint, and door-related issues that resulted in violations. The property has ongoing open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements for 2023 and 2024, though a bedbug report from 2022 indicated no infestations during the previous filing period.

Historical inspections from 2018 documented several structural and safety concerns, including issues with stairway balusters, fire-retardant plaster, garbage receptacles, and front yard paving, all of which remain listed as open violations. The building's boiler system has been a particular focus of regulatory scrutiny, with both Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations related to inspection non-compliance, including a 2024 ECB violation with a penalty of $655.
