Augrented Insights Report

The 98-unit multi-family residential building complex at 1140-1160 Buchanan Street, known as Thomas Paine Square, consists of multiple buildings constructed in 1972 and is currently undergoing various significant maintenance and repair projects. Recent inspections and complaints have raised serious concerns about living conditions, including reports of plumbing issues, lead paint hazards, electrical problems, and building maintenance needs. Notable recent work includes roofing projects completed in early 2024, window replacements across multiple buildings in 2022 (including 30 windows in Building 8 and 88 windows in Building 7), and a significant apartment renovation in August 2023 involving kitchen and bathroom updates.

The property has a history of boiler-related violations, with multiple complaints filed between 2015 and 2019 regarding unpermitted boiler operations. Other documented issues include three fire-related violations (in 2017, 2021, and 2023) related to sleeping area requirements, blocked exits, and alarm systems. The building underwent major gas line repairs in December 2022 and has experienced various system failures and maintenance challenges in recent years, including water heater replacements and plumbing issues affecting residents.

Complaints filed in 2024 have documented ongoing maintenance concerns, including problems with windows, shingle condition, and water-related issues, as well as health concerns related to mold and other environmental factors. The complex has successfully completed its mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program requirements, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status. Recent building permits indicate ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the property, though numerous recent complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges affecting resident comfort and safety. The building's management has responded to various inspection findings and violation notices, though some recurring issues indicate ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident communication.
