Augrented Insights Report for 21 Commercial Street

21 Commercial Street is a 93-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 2014 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water services throughout 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January and April of that year, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) faced challenges accessing units for inspection, though some complaints were resolved with confirmation of restored services.

The building also had a water leak complaint in April 2025 that couldn't be inspected due to lack of access. Historical maintenance issues include documented violations of the Housing Maintenance Code, particularly regarding hot water access in apartments 6J and 6K in 2023 and 2024, and a plumbing obstruction in apartment 1B cited in July 2024. The building's elevator system has required attention, with multiple complaints about defects in 2019 that were ultimately dismissed, and a more recent inspection in 2023 showing no violations.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years, showing zero infestations between 2022-2024. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2021 for rodent issues passed successfully. While the building has had various complaints over the years, including some regarding construction work and elevator issues, most have been resolved or dismissed upon inspection, suggesting ongoing monitoring of building systems and maintenance requirements.
