Augrented Insights Report

The two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 615-617 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by John F. and Linda M. Britton, has been actively maintained since its construction in 1912.

The property has undergone regular upgrades and repairs, with significant focus on window replacement between 2009-2012, including the installation of 13 street-facing windows in 2012. Multiple heating system updates were completed, including heater installations in 2022 and 2009, along with water heater replacements in 2009, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain essential services. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and compliance issues, particularly in 2009 when several plumbing and electrical improvements were completed to address code violations.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding appliance conditions, with the most recent complaint in April 2024 about a rusted stove. Previous issues include a 2022 heating system problem with excessive flame, electrical incidents in 2017, and various maintenance matters such as plumbing work, electrical upgrades (including a 2016 service upgrade to 6 meter service with sub-panels), and safety improvements. The property has experienced several building violation cases, particularly in 2000-2007, with most issues related to fire safety, security, and utility concerns being resolved by 2008. A recent planning inquiry from 2024 suggests interest in expanding the property with additional units, utilizing density exceptions available for corner lots in RH zoning districts.
