The property at 1522 Fell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by 1522-1524 Fell Street LLC. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant and recent concerns emerging in early 2023, including foundation repairs, weatherproofing problems, exterior maintenance needs, and a lead hazard warning.

There are also serious ongoing concerns about unauthorized construction, with multiple complaints between 2003-2023 regarding unpermitted decks, illegal in-law units, and unauthorized construction of a detached building in the rear yard. A notable indoor health concern is the presence of mold, which has been reported in various complaints over the years, including a recent December 2023 report indicating rapid mold growth in the in-law unit despite cleaning efforts.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to exterior improvements, such as vinyl siding installation in 1998, but many current violations remain unresolved. While there have been several fire department responses to the property, none have involved civilian injuries or significant incidents, primarily consisting of false alarms and system malfunctions. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including reports of debris, graffiti, and a fallen tree, though these are external to the building itself.
