167 Newport Street is a 3-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Frank Lang. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple emergency complaints in 2023 and 2025 regarding lack of heat/hot water affecting either the entire building or individual apartments. The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, including water leaks reported in 2023 (heavy flow) and 2024 (slow leak), with associated violations in Apartment 3A for radiator connection issues.
Other notable maintenance concerns include a persistent mold issue in Apartment 2C's bathroom (upgraded to Class B violation in 2023), electrical problems in the same apartment, and various heating system-related complaints. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of similar issues recurring over time, particularly related to heating systems and plumbing. Recent inspections (2024) identified violations in Apartment 3A for broken connections at both the kitchen sink and radiator.
The property has demonstrated some persistence in maintaining basic conditions, as seen in the consistent closure of complaints after corrections were made. Noteworthy past violations include a 2019 ECB violation regarding an improperly connected sidewalk shed electrical service, for which a penalty was imposed. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2019, with no reported cases in the past five filing periods.
