Augrented Insights Report for 522 Mcdonald Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 522 McDonald Avenue in Kensington, owned by Angelica Simon, has experienced several notable issues since 2022, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in November 2022. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding safety and sanitary conditions, including broken window guards, missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with mold and pests.

All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without violations being issued, suggesting the problems were addressed promptly. The building faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations in late 2022, primarily related to safety and regulatory compliance. These included requirements for proper notice posting regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and gas leak procedures, as well as maintaining an inspection certificate frame and addressing lead-based paint hazard control requirements in apartment 1F.

A Class C violation was issued regarding excessive household items blocking an exit door on the 3rd story. Notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, which remains unresolved as of this report's date. Recent bedbug reports from 2024 and 2023 show no infestation activity during the respective reporting periods, with no units affected.
