Augrented Insights Report for 1744 Merrill Street

1744 Merrill Street is a 3-story, 7-unit residential building located in Parkchester, built in 1929 and currently owned by Menachem Fisher. The building has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating systems, appliances, and structural elements. As of July 2025, there are several active violations and open complaints, including issues with heat and hot water systems, flooring conditions, and various appliance problems.

A significant cluster of complaints was filed in May 2025 regarding appliances, doors, windows, and sanitation issues, though many of these could not be inspected due to access issues. The building has documented problems with heating systems, including violations issued in March 2025 and multiple service requests regarding insufficient heat and hot water. Also of concern are the violations related to the boiler system identified in December 2024, which received an active ECB violation regarding various issues including chimney sealing and front sight glass problems, with a penalty imposed.

The property has shown some pattern of rodent activity, with rat activity noted during inspections in December 2024 and historical records showing similar issues in 2018, 2021, and 2022. Additional violations include an active open violation from 2023 for failure to file required external low-pressure inspections. Recent building inspections in 2025 have raised concerns about structural stability, as evidenced by a complaint about building shaking/vibration filed in June 2025. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (records from 2021-2023 show zero infested units), the building's overall maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with basic building systems and infrastructure.
