Augrented Insights Report for 1540 Van Siclen Avenue

1540 Van Siclen Avenue is an 11-story, 222-unit residential building constructed in 1975 and currently owned by Andrew Kane. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, most notably in June 2025, with multiple complaints regarding water supply problems, a power outage, and signs of rodent activity. Health-related concerns have also emerged, including asbestos issues and unsanitary conditions such as mold and pest problems. The building has a documented history of plumbing and heating issues, with multiple complaints about water supply problems and hot water outages between 2025 and 2024.

The building experienced a notable fire incident in 2024, affecting Apartment 7C on the 7th floor, which resulted in multiple violations related to fire safety and building maintenance. Recent inspections have revealed recurring rodent activity, with bait applications occurring as recently as July 2025. The property has faced several regulatory matters, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from May 2024 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order, with financial penalties associated. Past violations have included concerns about self-closing doors, window guards, and elevator maintenance. The building underwent facade restoration work in 2022, which generated multiple violations related to construction safety and compliance, though most of these have been resolved.

Bedbug activity has also been documented, with several units treated and successfully eradicated between 2023-2024, though the presence of multiple active infestations was reported in some periods. The building has had consistent challenges with basic services, as evidenced by numerous 311 complaints and violations regarding heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Accessibility to maintenance inspections has been an issue, with multiple complaints closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access to the affected units. Recent improvements to the property include some resolution of past violations, though many maintenance issues remain ongoing. The building's management has periodically responded to regulatory violations and service complaints, as evidenced by the closure of several recent Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, though some persistent issues remain unresolved.
