Augrented Insights Report for 1340 Merriam Avenue

1340 Merriam Avenue is a 68-unit, five-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 and currently owned by David Schorr. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly during 2024-2025, with numerous plumbing and water supply issues, including multiple emergency service requests in June 2025.

A notable cluster of complaints and violations emerged in early 2025, including problems with heating systems, water leaks, floor conditions, and various violations in Apartment D22, which has been identified as having multiple open violations including issues with pest infestations (roaches and mice), hot water availability, and interior maintenance needs. The building's safety and habitability have been under scrutiny, with the Department of Buildings issuing multiple violations in 2024-2025. These include a December 2024 violation regarding a locked egress door with an interior key cylinder and defective exterior brick facade.

The property has a documented history of rodent activity, with inspections showing both rat activity and compliance passes between 2022 and 2025. While bedbug infestations have been consistently reported as zero in recent annual filings (2019-2024), other maintenance issues persist, including ongoing concerns about plumbing infrastructure as evidenced by multiple service requests and violations. The building's owners have faced penalties for various maintenance deficiencies, including a December 2024 Environmental Control Board violation with a $2,500 penalty for exterior wall maintenance issues, though previous violations related to energy efficiency scores and technical report filing remain active.
