Augrented Insights Report for 268 Union Avenue

268 Union Avenue is a four-story, seven-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1911 and currently owned by David Tennenbaum. The property has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly in 2025, with multiple open complaints including plumbing problems (bathtub/shower, basin/sink), unsanitary conditions (pests), window frame issues, and a water leak. The building has a documented history of rodent activity, with rat sightings reported in 2025 and multiple inspections showing rat activity as recently as November 2024.

Between December 2023 and May 2025, there were various plumbing and maintenance issues in apartments 3L and 4L, including water leaks, hot water temperature violations, and ceiling repair needs. The building has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections regarding potential illegal conversions and maintenance violations. Notable findings from 2024 include exterior window frame disrepair and an unstable staircase tread on the third floor.

Emergency service requests in June 2025 for carbon monoxide detector issues and multiple doors/windows suggest ongoing safety concerns. While the building has a history of pest issues, recent bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024 indicate no infestation cases. The property has maintained a propane-free environment, with no reported instances of illegal smoking or vaping.
