Augrented Insights Report for 476 Union Avenue

The three-story, 9-unit residential building at 476 Union Avenue, owned by Mark Despirito and constructed in 2004, has experienced several significant issues over its operating history. Most notably, there have been multiple violations and complaints regarding illegal short-term rentals, with the most recent active complaint filed in May 2025, following previous violations in 2019 and 2022 that resulted in penalties totaling $5,000.

The building has also faced safety and compliance concerns, including three Environmental Control Board violations in March 2022 related to inadequate means of egress and fire alarm systems connected to unauthorized transient use in Apartment 4A, though these were resolved with fines. Health-related matters were documented in 2020-2021 regarding mobile food vendor placements, and while there were violations in 2021 and 2022 regarding bedbug report filings, the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show no infestations.

The building's elevator system has required attention, with violations recorded in 2019, 2020, and 2021, all of which were ultimately resolved in 2022. The property has maintained compliance with rodent control measures since 2016, when it first documented rat activity, though it passed subsequent inspections.
