Augrented Insights Report

The 13-story, 167-unit multi-family residential building at 620 Jones Street, owned by Gaylord Associates LP, was constructed in 1929 and has experienced several significant events in recent years, particularly related to safety systems and maintenance. Most notably, the building is currently undergoing a fire alarm system upgrade, with work issued in 2024 to install additional notification devices and comply with fire code requirements, following multiple documented fire code violations throughout 2023-2024. Recent plumbing work in 2023 included backflow device replacement, water heater installation, and boiler work, suggesting maintenance of essential building systems is being addressed.

Three significant complaints were filed in 2023-2024 regarding ventilation issues and mold in unit 506, with the most recent complaint in August 2023 noting bathroom ventilation problems. The building has also experienced recurring issues with construction work being performed without proper permits, particularly involving unauthorized modifications to lobby partitions in 2022, which required subsequent remediation to comply with building codes. The property has a history of various building violations dating back to 2005, including issues with plumbing, electrical systems, and building security, though most of these violations were addressed by 2010.

More recent fire safety concerns have emerged, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2022-2024, including issues with alarm systems, blocked exits, and various maintenance requirements. The building underwent significant improvements between 2009-2010, including the installation of a restaurant, kitchen equipment upgrades, and extensive electrical work. While many historical violations have been resolved, the property has experienced recurring issues with fire safety compliance, as evidenced by recent violations and fire code enforcement actions in 2024.
