Augrented Insights Report for 500 Ocean Avenue

500 Ocean Avenue is a 6-story, 64-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by James Demetriades. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in 2024-2025, with multiple complaints between March 2024 and April 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The most recent complaints in April 2025 were particularly concerning, with one investigation noting inability to gain access for inspection. Other maintenance issues have included door/window problems and radiator concerns in late 2024.

The building underwent significant elevator maintenance and safety concerns between 2020-2022, with multiple violations issued for failure to comply with safety requirements, though these appear to have been resolved with varying penalties. Apartment 2H was found to have several issues in late 2024, including high hot water temperatures (153 degrees), mold concerns, and various maintenance deficiencies, though many of these violations were certified as corrected by December 2024. The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections in 2024 showing rat activity, though bait was applied in July 2025. Building systems appeared to show periodic deficiencies in 2024, with a DOHMH rodent complaint and unsanitary garbage storage issue investigated in October 2024.

The building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2025. Two Quality of Life violations were recorded in 2024, though they were ultimately dismissed. The most recent paint/plaster violation from June 2025 indicates ongoing maintenance requirements. While many of the building's documented issues have been addressed through inspections and violation resolutions, the repeated nature of heating system complaints suggests ongoing system reliability concerns, particularly during the transition to 2025.
