Augrented Insights Report for 1307 Merriam Avenue

1307 Merriam Avenue is a 70-unit, 6-story residential building located in Highbridge, built in 1926 and currently owned by David Diamond. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and water systems in early 2025, receiving multiple complaints about both apartment-specific and entire-building heat/hot water problems between January and February. Recent maintenance concerns include an April 2025 pest-related complaint that was closed without inspection, though there have been inspections confirming rat activity in July 2025, while April 2025 inspections passed.

The building has shown persistent rodent presence, with several violations issued between 2024-2025, particularly affecting apartments C1 and E2, which were reported to have infestations of cockroaches and rats, respectively, according to the August 2024 inspection. Multiple service requests and violations have been recorded in 2025, including electrical outlet issues, water leaks, and maintenance problems with mailboxes, though many complaints resulted in inspections that found no violations, particularly for heat/hot water complaints. The building underwent inspections demonstrating both problems with sanitary conditions and subsequent corrections.

Regulatory filings regarding bedbugs show no reported infestations from 2018 through 2024. Previous Department of Buildings (DOB) records indicate issues with fire safety systems and basic maintenance, particularly a 2019 violation for failing to file energy benchmarking reports, though these were dismissed. Inspectors have generally responded swiftly to complaints, with several permits issued for maintenance work in recent years, indicating ongoing management attention to building systems, though some inspection requests have been closed due to lack of access.
