Augrented Insights Report for 45 Newel Street

45 Newel Street is a 5-story, 18-unit commercial-altered Class A building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Shaye Falkowitz. The building has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, most notably a cluster of mold complaints between July and September 2023, totaling six separate reports, though inspections generally did not result in violations. More recently, in September 2024, there was a complaint regarding indoor air quality involving chemical vapors, which resulted in an official notice to the property management.

The building has also faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues with water supply and leaks documented between 2021 and 2023, as well as some maintenance violations uncovered during a September 2023 inspection, particularly affecting Apartment 1D, where problems with water leaks, lighting fixtures, and door closures were identified. The property has a mixed history regarding pest control, with rat activity observed in several inspections between 2017 and 2022, though the most recent rodent inspection in April 2023 passed without any findings. The building is currently facing several active violations related to its Certificate of Occupancy, particularly concerning unauthorized use of the rear yard area, which has been enclosed with a black metal fence.

The Department of Buildings has issued penalties totaling $1,500 for these violations. Additionally, there are outstanding environmental control board violations from 2024 related to unpermitted work in the rear yard. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024.
