Augrented Insights Report

The property at 138-140 Alpine Terrace is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by the Scott A Prevost Revocable Trust. The building underwent extensive renovations in 2013, including significant interior remodeling, foundation work, and the installation of modern amenities such as solar panels and skylights.

These improvements included the reconfiguration of kitchens and bathrooms, addition of a wood hot tub, installation of two fireplaces, radiant heating systems, and a complete electrical rewiring of the two-bedroom apartments, with an investment totaling over $300,000. Most recently, in April 2023, the property underwent sewer lateral replacement with new house trap installation, representing the latest infrastructure upgrade. However, there are currently serious concerns regarding the property's compliance with building codes and safety requirements, as evidenced by multiple complaints filed in December 2024.

These complaints allege unauthorized construction of rear decks and a hot tub, with specific violations noted regarding fire safety, structural support, and open space requirements. Additional issues have been raised about a potential illegal unit merger, with conflicting records regarding the building's classification as a single-family residence versus a two-unit building. While the property has a documented history of permits for various improvements and maintenance work, the recent complaints highlight significant concerns about unpermitted modifications that may impact resident safety and building integrity.
