Augrented Insights Report

The 8-story multi-family residential building at 25 Essex Street, built in 2013 and containing 123 units, is currently facing several concerning maintenance issues as of early 2025. Most notably, there is an **active complaint regarding a non-functioning elevator (filed December 2024)**, and previous complaints throughout 2024 indicate **recurring heating problems and appliance maintenance issues**.

The building has recently experienced multiple fire code violations, with the most recent set of violations issued in December 2024 concerning the alarm system maintenance, fire safety director requirements, elevator quarterly tests, and various other fire safety features, though these were subsequently abated. The property has a documented history of maintenance challenges, including multiple complaints in early 2024 about unsanitary conditions in the 5th floor stairwell. The building's history shows some improvements made over the years, including a **2014 renovation of ground floor commercial space** and various infrastructure upgrades, such as sprinkler system modifications and HVAC improvements.

However, the recent pattern of complaints, particularly regarding essential services like heating and elevator functionality, as well as the December 2024 fire code violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property management's responsiveness to some issues is indicated by the "abated" status of many violations, though several violations remain open or were only recently addressed. The building's age and recent maintenance history suggest an ongoing need for attention to building systems and resident maintenance requests.
