Augrented Insights Report

The 3-story multi-family residential building at 1618-1624 Howard Street, owned by Patricia A. Britton Revocable Trust, was built in 1910 and contains 11 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, including major kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2008 and 2015-2017, electrical rewiring of multiple units, and plumbing updates including the installation of new heating systems.

Most recently, a re-roofing project with hot works was permitted in December 2024 at a cost of $9,000. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding paint and exterior conditions, with multiple complaints about peeling paint and wood rot on the front, side, and back of the building dating back to 2017. These issues have resulted in several housing and building violations, including lead paint hazard concerns that require proper containment procedures.

A soft-story retrofit complaint was filed in 2017, generating additional regulatory scrutiny, though this appears to have been resolved by 2019. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 and 2024 resulted in a violation being issued and several complaints of blocked exits, though these were deemed to have no merit upon investigation. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, including the removal of a general advertising sign in 2015, various plumbing and electrical improvements, and compliance with multiple orders to address specific maintenance issues. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 include reports of graffiti, street lighting issues, and sidewalk cleanliness concerns, though these are primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.
