Augrented Insights Report for 212-29 Hillside Avenue

212-29 Hillside Avenue is a 180-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by David Massimilla. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during 2024, with multiple complaints filed between October and December 2024 regarding inadequate heating and hot water supply affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The property has also faced consistent challenges with elevator service, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2022 and 2023 regarding elevator functionality and alternate service requirements.

A significant pest control concern is documented through annual bedbug reporting, showing periodic infestations between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent report indicating 9 infested units in the 2023-2024 period, though all were stated to be eradicated. In addition to these ongoing maintenance issues, the building has experienced various infrastructure and safety concerns, including defective fire escape systems identified in November 2024 violations, which affected multiple floors and required replacement of broken metal slats. The property has also faced challenges with pest management, including a 2023 violation for mice and roach infestations in apartment 4EW.

Historical complaints from 2021-2022 raised concerns about building stability, though these were typically found to have no violations upon inspection. The building's management has faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations, including a 2024 penalty related to parking structure maintenance, and previous violations regarding elevator safety devices and fire escape maintenance. While some infrastructure issues have been addressed through permits and repairs, such as an elevator-related permit issued in 2020, the recurring nature of many complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
