Augrented Insights Report

1640 Steiner Street is a four-story, 32-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Jones Memorial Homes Inc. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, most notably with the elevator system, which has been reported to break down frequently and is currently subject to an active complaint filed in December 2024 regarding extended outages in this senior living facility. The building's fire safety systems have also been a recurring concern, with multiple violations documented between 2017 and 2024 related to alarm systems, sprinklers, and sleeping area requirements.

Most recently, a sleeping area violation was issued in December 2023 and remains open. The building has a history of water-related problems, including incidents of water damage, mold, and plumbing issues between 2002 and 2007, though these older complaints were generally resolved within a few weeks. Significant improvements have been made to the building's safety systems, including a $17,500 upgrade in 2015 to install new addressable fire alarm components and replace smoke detectors and pull stations.

Additionally, past renovations have included reroofing work in 1993 and 2006, and window replacements in 1993. The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris on the property. While the building has undergone various improvements over the years, the recurring elevator issues and recent fire safety violations suggest ongoing maintenance and safety system challenges.
