Augrented Insights Report for 256 Charles Avenue

The 2-family house at 256 Charles Avenue in Port Richmond, built in 1932 and currently owned by Adriana Meza, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2024 involving electrical wiring problems and a broken window guard. Between December 2023 and February 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding various plumbing issues (including problems with the bathtub/shower, toilet, and sink), all of which resulted in the Department of Housing Preservation and Development being unable to gain access for inspection.

Earlier in 2023, there were significant plumbing issues involving sewage problems, and the building has also faced multiple rodent inspection failures between 2012 and 2023, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges. More recent building violations from late 2023/early 2024 indicate concerns about lead-based paint hazards and general maintenance issues in Apartment 2, including problems with bathroom fixtures, ceiling paint, and window security.

Previous records show a pattern of inspection access issues, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2018-2021 for electrical wiring and gas hook-up concerns where inspectors were unable to gain entry. The building's history suggests persistent maintenance challenges over the years, with many complaints going unresolved through proper inspections and requiring repeated reporting for potential follow-up.
