Augrented Insights Report for 1414 Merriam Avenue

1414 Merriam Avenue is a 5-story, 27-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Jay Rand. The building has experienced consistent maintenance challenges in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints including issues with heat/hot water systems affecting the entire building (April and March), and various maintenance and sanitary concerns such as mold, pests, and problems with ceilings and radiators (May). Notable violations from late 2024 include open citations regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and proper notice postings in common areas, though some maintenance violations were closed, such as a broken light fixture in the 1st-story public hall.

The property has a concerning pattern of heating and water system complaints, with multiple incidents reported in March and April 2025. Additionally, there have been persistent issues with access for inspections - as noted in several 311 complaints in 2025 where HPD inspectors were unable to gain entry to units for inspection. The building's environmental safety profile shows a full year of bedbug-free reports from 2021 through 2025, though there were instances of rat activity recorded in both 2019 and 2024 during rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in October 2024 passing.

The property has two active violations as of 2024 related to external low pressure inspection filing and a benchmarking report of energy use. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has consistently maintained compliance with bedbug eradication requirements and has mostly passed rodent inspections, with the recent October 2024 inspection showing no rat activity. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of both urgent and non-urgent issues, with particular attention needed to address the pattern of heating system complaints and the current open violations regarding safety equipment and building notices.
