Augrented Insights Report

1290 20th Avenue is a 7-story, 42-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by LSL Properties B14 De LLC. The property has undergone significant recent activity, including multiple apartment renovations in 2019-2022 where units were improved with new kitchens, bathrooms, and washer/dryer installations. Most recently, in 2024, there were major concerns with building systems, including complaints about a broken front door affecting disabled access and a clogged toilet in unit 304.

The building has a history of elevator issues, with multiple complaints in 2024 and previous problems noted in 2010 and 2001. Fire safety systems are currently being upgraded, with a filed permit in September 2024 to install low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with current codes. Several fire violations were recorded in 2023-2024 regarding the alarm system maintenance and UL certification, though most have been abated. The building experienced various maintenance challenges in 2023, including reports of broken appliances, dilapidated windows, and plumbing issues.

The property has undergone commercial improvements as well, with recent work related to US Bank's tenant improvements and signage installation in 2023-2024. Building violations from late 2021 addressed issues with fire escape ladders, elevator operation, window repairs, and rodent infestation, though these were all abated by September 2022. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 have primarily concerned garbage and debris management, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing efforts to address various system upgrades and tenant improvements, including recent work to improve fire safety systems and compliance with current building codes.
