Augrented Insights Report

The two-unit residential building at 225 Cole Street in Park North, owned by Ronald B. Romine, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2023-2024.

The property, built in 1900, faced multiple housing code violations in September 2023, including problems with water damage, drainage pipes, window repairs, stairs, and interior surfaces, all of which were officially documented and later abated by March 2024 through various repairs totaling approximately $8,000. More recent concerns emerged in early 2024 regarding mold issues affecting bathrooms, bedrooms, and ceilings, which had reportedly persisted for years and had previously involved housing inspections. The building's recent maintenance history shows both structural and safety improvements, including completed garage beam reinforcement in May 2024 ($3,000), and various repairs in late 2023 addressing windows, roof, and back stairs.

The property has undergone multiple electrical and plumbing works, though some permits (including a 200A service upgrade and GFCI installation) were cancelled before completion. Notably, the building has a historical record of fire damage repair from 1988, and multiple parking-related incidents have been reported in recent years. While many recent violations and repair needs have been addressed, the presence of persistent mold problems and the building's age suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
