Augrented Insights Report

The 23-unit multi-family residential building at 38 Harriet St, owned by Fre 398 LLC, was constructed in 2013 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently multiple active building violations as of 2024 regarding general dilapidation, broken windows, inadequate lighting, and sanitation concerns, following a previous pattern of violations in 2023-2024 that included security concerns and garbage issues.

The building's fire safety systems require urgent attention, with two electrical permits filed in May 2024 for fire warning device installations and an associated violation regarding the alarm system from February 2024. The elevator modernization project is also in progress, with a permit filed in May 2024. The property has undergone a change of use from student housing to apartments, resulting in the current configuration of 23 units (18 market rate, 5 BMR), as documented in a 2018 permit.

Previous fire safety concerns from 2022-2024 included blocked exits and alarm system violations, though these issues were generally addressed through corrective actions. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic systems, including a water heater installation in 2016, but recent complaints indicate ongoing challenges with building upkeep. Outside the building, there have been numerous 311 calls in 2024 regarding encampments and sanitation issues in the surrounding area, though these are external to the property's direct management.
