1056-1060 Florida St

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1056-1060 Florida Street, owned by Cynthia A Lasden, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant renovations, with a particular focus on staircase safety improvements. Most recently, in 2024 and 2023, the building underwent staircase renovations including dry rot mitigation and partial staircase replacement, with costs of $9,000 and $9,500 respectively. This building has a history of staircase-related concerns, with similar repairs documented in 2002, 2003, and 2006, when a complete reroofing project was also attempted. The property faced multiple violations in January 2002, including issues with stairs, handrails, fire safety, and security doors, though all were abated by August 2002. Electrical improvements were made in 2006-2009, including kitchen remodeling with sub-panel installations, and a furnace change-out in 2009. A concerning complaint was filed in 2018 regarding unpermitted demolition work, though this was later closed as "Not Active". More recently, there have been minor issues documented in 311 calls, including reports of medical waste (needles) in 2020 and garbage debris (mattress) in 2025, though these incidents occurred outside the building itself. The most recent building permit activity in early 2024 reflects ongoing maintenance attention to the property's exterior features, particularly the entry staircase, indicating active management of building safety and infrastructure.
