Augrented Insights Report for 291 Metropolitan Avenue

291 Metropolitan Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit Class A residential building constructed in 2014, currently owned by Phillip Miller. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding mold and water-related problems. Between 2022 and 2024 alone, there were multiple reports of mold (with at least eight separate complaints), including an emergency report filed just last month in August 2024, though no violations were issued upon inspection.

The building has also faced recurring water-related issues, including a slow leak complaint from October 2023. The elevator system has been another major area of concern, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2022 and 2024, resulting in violations and fines totaling $1,280 in 2023-2024. Recent investigations (May 2025) regarding construction, certificate of occupancy, and plumbing work have shown inspectors unable to gain access, and there are active violations related to energy efficiency score display and benchmarking reporting requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, with no reported rodent issues in the past year and successful compliance with pest control measures, including rodent bait application and pass inspections. There have been multiple door/window-related complaints in 2022, which were addressed, along with several violations regarding elevator maintenance and security that have been resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing zero infestation cases between 2019 and 2025. Despite the building's relatively recent construction date, these ongoing maintenance issues suggest challenges with moisture control and building systems that have persisted since the property's completion, though most complaints have been addressed with no violations cited upon inspection.
