Augrented Insights Report for 542 Williams Avenue

542 Williams Avenue, a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building built in 1910 and currently managed by Greencedar Management, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges between 2023 and 2024. The property has documented multiple sanitation-related issues, particularly concerning pests, with four recent complaints in December 2024 alone, and several rodent-related incidents including failed inspections in November 2024, September 2024, and July 2024. The building has also faced significant maintenance issues including water leaks, electrical problems, and heating concerns.

Notably, a December 2023 complaint regarding heat and hot water was closed without inspection, and June 2024 complaints involved water leak issues that HPD was unable to access for inspection purposes. The building currently has open Class B violations from September 2024, primarily affecting apartment 3A, related to water leaks, damaged fire retardant material, missing radiator cover, and defective plastered surfaces. Additional emergency repairs have been documented in 2024, including issues with plumbing, water leaks, and ceiling conditions.

The building's recent inspection history shows a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with multiple inspections resulting in violations or failed compliance checks between 2024 and 2018. While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports showing zero infested units since 2019, the ongoing pest and maintenance issues suggest persistent challenges with building upkeep. The property has seen regular inspections and service complaints throughout recent years, with a particular spike in reported issues in 2024, indicating potential difficulties in maintaining basic building systems and addressing resident concerns in a timely manner.
