Augrented Insights Report for 702 Essex Street

702 Essex Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Alyah Horsford. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with eight documented complaints between 2020 and 2024, representing 50% of all service requests during this period.

The most recent complaints in December 2024 and October 2024 both involved building-wide heating problems, though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Other notable incidents include electrical issues (no lighting) and door problems reported in March 2023, which were inspected but resulted in no violations being issued. The building has two open violations as of 2024-2025: one regarding the filing of an annual bedbug report (Class A violation) and another concerning household items obstructing fire escape egress from the third-story balcony (Class B violation).

Previous years have shown various maintenance issues being reported and addressed, including an unsanitary condition involving pests (2021), problems with a refrigerator (2021), and multiple heat/hot water complaints. Safety equipment deficiencies were documented in April 2023, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors in apartment 3B. The building's bedbug history shows consistent reporting periods (2019-2022) with no documented infestations, and rodent inspections in 2011, 2012, and 2018 showed compliance, though there was one failure recorded in 2018 for unspecified reasons.
