Augrented Insights Report for 185-25 Merrick Boulevard

The property at 185-25 Merrick Boulevard in Springfield Gardens is a 2-story, 6-unit building owned by Narendra Persaud and constructed in 1931. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints of water leaks documented between 2018-2022, including heavy flow and slow leaks. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a sewage-related complaint classified as unsanitary conditions.

In 2018, a range of maintenance issues were documented, including concerns about the fire escape, ceiling paint/plaster problems, and plumbing issues, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. The building has an extensive history of violations and compliance issues, particularly notable during 2018 when multiple ECB violations were filed against Xander and Associates LLC for construction work without permits, including electrical work and structural modifications. These violations were eventually resolved, though they indicate significant renovation activity during that period.

Three Class C violations from June 2018 regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply affected Apartment 1RR, along with concerns about unsafe electrical wiring at the cellar circuit breaker panel. The building has also faced challenges with rodent inspections, having failed twice in 2011 and 2012. While permits for plumbing and electrical work were issued during 2018-2020, the status of more recent permits from 2020 remains "In Process" as of the latest available data.
