Augrented Insights Report for 56 Grattan Street

56 Grattan Street is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Solomon Kubitshuk. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably in 2025, when there were three emergency safety violations involving broken/missing window guards, and missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors - all of which resulted in issued violations that required correction. In March 2025, there was also a heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building.

The building underwent an inspection in August 2024 that revealed multiple safety notification violations, including missing required postings for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting information, though most of these violations were certified as corrected by October 2024. Currently, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases in any of the annual reports filed from 2019 to 2024.

However, recent rodent inspections in 2024 (September and November) indicated rat activity, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. A non-emergency paint/plaster issue was reported in September 2023 related to wall conditions. While the building has experienced multiple violations and complaints in recent years, most have been addressed through inspections and corrections, though some safety concerns such as the currently open violation regarding heating system access notice remain outstanding.
