Augrented Insights Report

540 Leavenworth Street is a 5-story, 44-unit multi-family residential building built in 1914, currently owned by 540 Leavenworth LLC. The building has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past decade, including fire safety improvements, plumbing updates, and electrical system modifications. Most notably, in 2024, the building is undergoing a fire alarm system upgrade to meet current codes and install low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, following multiple fire safety violations in 2023 related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and UL certification.

The building has experienced recurring water heater issues, with multiple units requiring heating system replacements between 2022-2023, including a tankless water heater repair in Unit 404 in 2023. Other improvements include the installation of 44 water meters in 2016, comprehensive electrical upgrades including individual unit panel installations in 2014, and the addition of a roof deck for tenant use in 2015. Recent complaints and violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and resident comforts.

In 2023-2024, there have been multiple violations related to fire safety systems that required attention, though some have been abated. There have also been recent concerns about utility systems, including electrical issues in Unit 204 and water heater problems affecting multiple units. The building previously experienced infrastructure issues in the early 2000s, with violations related to fire safety equipment and interior surfaces, though these were resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in 2015, and the property has been subject to multiple street cleaning and maintenance calls, particularly regarding waste management, in the 2023-2024 period, though these are primarily related to the exterior of the building.
