Augrented Insights Report

The 14-story apartment building at 2 Townsend Street in South Beach, owned by South Beach Marina Inc, was constructed in 1989 and contains 417 multi-family residential units. The property has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, including a comprehensive fire safety retrofit completed in 2022 costing $350,000, which involved replacing 175 smoke detectors, 30 heat detectors, and upgrading the notification circuitry across the building. There have been recurring fire code violations noted between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent violations in April 2024 citing issues with extinguishers, a commercial cooking system, and sleeping area requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to essential systems, including multiple boiler and water heater replacements between 2020-2024 (most recently in August 2023), elevator modifications in 2022, and various plumbing repairs. Recent resident complaints have raised concerns about management communication, with a tenant in January 2024 reporting difficulties in addressing a billing issue and consistently receiving unresponsive management communication. The building has faced challenges with boiler permit renewals, generating multiple complaints between 2017 and 2024.

While there have been numerous 311 calls in early 2025 regarding street cleaning issues near the property, these are external to the building itself. The property has a history of unauthorized short-term rentals, with multiple violations documented between 2018 and 2021, though these appear to have been resolved. The building's safety and maintenance record indicates regular oversight, with many violations being promptly addressed and abated, though the pattern of violations suggests ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding fire safety systems and boiler permits.
