Augrented Insights Report for 555 Mcdonald Avenue

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 555 McDonald Avenue in Kensington, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Mohammed Islam, has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly in recent years. As of August 2023, there are multiple open violations affecting Apartment 2F, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), water leak problems, and various maintenance issues such as peeling paint, damaged tiles, and window guard deficiencies. The building's records also reveal ongoing pest problems, with multiple 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations related to unsanitary conditions between 2019-2021.

A significant building-related emergency complaint regarding a fire escape was filed in December 2022. Two active ECB violations from 2020 remain unresolved, pertaining to unauthorized electrical work and failure to maintain proper building conditions, with penalties totaling $14,250. Additionally, there are open DOB violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file low-pressure inspections, and a bedbug report violation issued in April 2024. While rodent inspections in 2013 passed, more recent service requests indicate ongoing vermin issues, with the most recent mouse sighting complaint still in progress as of May 2021.

The building has experienced several infrastructure-related issues over the past five years, including multiple heat and hot water problems (both building-wide and apartment-specific), which were not consistently addressed according to complaint records. A work without permit violation was recorded in August 2020 when unauthorized renovation work was observed in Unit 6. The property appears to be experiencing persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in relation to pest control, water damage, and basic building systems. While some complaints have been closed and violations corrected, many issues remain outstanding, particularly the recent open violations related to water leakage, pest control, and lead paint concerns.
