Augrented Insights Report for 20 Continental Avenue

20 Continental Avenue, also known as Forest Hills Inn Apartments, is a 95-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Richard Arenaro. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concern being a standing water complaint in August 2024 that was investigated with no violations found. Notable incidents include a heat and hot water emergency in October 2022 that was promptly resolved, and an indoor air quality issue related to construction dust in December 2022.

The building has undergone multiple inspections related to Local Law 188/17 Compliance, with inspections in 2023 showing no violations except for one instance where the inspector was unable to gain access. Historical records indicate persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018-2019, when the building received multiple violations regarding improperly installed commercial clothes dryer vents at the main entrance. These violations, along with others for failure to maintain building code compliance, were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property has maintained a clean record for pest control, as evidenced by bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 showing no infestations, and passed its initial rodent inspection in March 2012. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2009 for defective plastered surfaces in apartment 3T were certified as resolved in November 2023. The building's recent history suggests improved maintenance response times, as most recent complaints have been addressed promptly, though some complaints related to access issues remain unresolved.
