Augrented Insights Report for 1255 Webster Avenue

The 6-story tenement building at 1255 Webster Avenue in Concourse Village, owned by Michael Merges, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since 2022, with the most significant recent problems occurring in 2024. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water outages, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with the most recent incidents reported in January 2024. There have also been persistent water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks and damp spots, along with plumbing problems affecting toilets.

The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in April 2024, resulting in several Class A and B violations, including lead paint hazards, fire safety concerns, and defects in various building elements such as ceilings and smoke detectors in Apartments B2 and D3. More recent developments show some improvement in maintenance response, with rodent inspection results varying from failure due to rat activity in February 2024 to passing inspections in late 2024 and early 2025. The building's recent history includes the discovery of multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, including damaged fire retardant materials and the need for repair or replacement of smoke detectors.

The property has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations since 2019, with zero reported cases in the past several years. An active violation remains open as of June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection, though a previous violation from 2019 was dismissed. The building has undergone periodic rodent control measures, with bait applied in 2022 and recent inspections showing varying results for rodent activity.
