Augrented Insights Report for 387 Chestnut Street

387 Chestnut Street is a 3-story, 18-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Keith Francis. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concerns arising in 2022-2025 including multiple emergency safety violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and ongoing pest infestation problems.

A major period of concern was from 2022 to 2023, featuring multiple unsanitary conditions complaints (including mold, pests, and garbage storage issues), a heat and hot water complaint, electrical issues, and various housing maintenance code violations. Most recently, in 2023-2025, there have been recurring issues with pests, heating systems, and safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, with several emergency complaints and violations still showing as open, particularly an April 2024 violation regarding Annual Bedbug Reporting and several 2023 facade maintenance issues. The building's systems have also shown to be problematic, with a 2020 Department of Buildings violation regarding a defective/inoperative boiler, and multiple Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 concerning improper gas line work and installation.

The property has a documented history of pest control issues, with the most recent Bedbug Reporting from March 2022 showing no confirmed infestations for the 2020-2021 reporting period, though this was following a period of documented pest violations. The building's facade and safety systems have required attention, with violations indicating needed repairs to door hardware, brickwork, and removal of obstructions from fire escapes. While some violations have been resolved, including a 2022 mouse infestation in Apartment 6, many current and recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
