893 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 8-unit, 5-story condominium at 893 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years, most significantly related to heat and hot water systems. In March 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water problems, with some complaints noting HPD's inability to access units for inspection.

Earlier, in January 2023 and February 2021, there were water supply issues that prompted HPD investigations, though no violations were found in those cases. The building's records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with all recent filings indicating zero infested units, though there were two violations noted in 2021 and 2022 related to filing these reports.

Importantly, the building has maintained a strong track record in rodent inspections, passing all initial inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025, including the most recent inspection in May 2025. The building's property management has generally addressed maintenance issues promptly, though the 2024 heat/hot water incidents represent the most significant recent concern for resident comfort and safety. The unit's relatively new construction (built in 2006) and consistent rodent control success are notable positive features, while the recurring water-related issues suggest a pattern of plumbing system challenges.
