Augrented Insights Report

The property at 538 Chenery Street in Glen Park is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by the Marco Castaneda Revoc Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects over the past few decades, with recent work focusing on structural and safety updates. In 2023, the property received extensive stair and roof modifications, including the removal of a concrete roof and replacement with a wood frame roof, along with stair renovations totaling $18,000.

The building's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades, including the installation of two tankless water heaters (2009), a new furnace (2009), and electrical system improvements. Recent maintenance issues have emerged as a concern, particularly regarding sewer systems, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between 2024-2025. The property has also experienced some structural challenges, including a termite remediation project in 2003 and various stair repairs over the years.

A building complaint was filed in 2012 regarding unpermitted electrical work, though this was subsequently addressed. The building's safety systems appear to be regularly maintained, with reports of smoke detector activations for malfunction and a minor fire incident recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported in either case. Recent electrical improvements include wiring work in the garage and installation of a 60-amp subpanel completed in December 2023.
