Augrented Insights Report for 1314 Merriam Avenue

The 8-story, 98-unit building at 1314 Merriam Avenue, owned by Christina Pimentel and constructed in 2001, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, with some concerns remaining unresolved. Most notably, there is an active pest control issue as of June 2025, with new complaints about rodent activity documented through mid-2025. The building has also faced ongoing elevator maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints logged between 2022-2025 indicating service outages and safety concerns, including a significant fine of $1,562.00 imposed in 2024 for out-of-service conditions that created hazardous situations.

Recent plumbing issues have emerged, including water supply violations and a water leak in June 2025, along with multiple electrical system problems such as wiring concerns, outlet issues, and lighting outages, particularly affecting June 2025. Unit 4J has been the focus of several persistent violations since late 2024, including multiple plumbing, electrical, and maintenance issues that remain open as of October 2023, while other spaces in the building have also experienced various infrastructure problems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring violations and maintenance needs, including issues with window frames, doors, and interior fixtures. There have been multiple inspections relating to bedbug infestations between 2018-2024, though the most recent reports from 2023-2024 indicate no active infestations.

Elevator safety and reliability appear to be a particularly persistent challenge, with multiple violations and fines related to elevator service during 2022-2024. The building's most recent rodent inspections in 2023-2025 show inconsistent results, with several "Rat Activity" designations. While some violations have been resolved, including various electrical and plumbing issues, many remain open, particularly regarding the 4J unit and common area systems. The building has also received citations for failing to file required safety inspections during 2022-2024, suggesting potential oversight of maintenance requirements.
