774 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

774 Myrtle Avenue is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 2008 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, currently owned by Joel Fried. The property has experienced recurring issues with rodent problems, evidenced by recent inspections in 2025 showing initially failed results and a subsequent "passed" inspection in July 2025. The building has also faced several significant maintenance challenges, including emergency complaints about mold (January 2023) and heat/hot water issues (December 2022), both of which were addressed and closed. The Department of Buildings records show a concerning history of elevator and gas utility issues, with a notable elevator violation in August 2018 when the only building elevator was out of service, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

The building's annual bedbug reporting has consistently shown no infestations or re-infestations, with the most recent report in June 2025 confirming zero affected units. The property has undergone multiple inspections for various violations, with the most recent concerning an unfiled annual bedbug report in April 2024 (class A violation). Historical records indicate a pattern of rodent-related complaints, though recent inspections show improved compliance. The building's housing maintenance history shows prompt attention to emergency complaints, with housing agencies verifying resolution of identified issues.

Notably, there are active DOB violations regarding failure to perform a Category 5 inspection (as of 2021), and multiple historical violations that were subsequently resolved or dismissed. The building has maintained a generally responsive approach to complaints and violations, with many issues being addressed promptly upon identification. Recent inspections have shown improvements in rodent control, though the property continues to require regular monitoring for various maintenance issues. The building's relatively recent construction date (2008) and annual bedbug management compliance suggest a level of maintenance attention, though historical violations indicate past challenges with maintaining regulatory compliance across various systems.
