756 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

756 Myrtle Avenue is a 72-unit, 6-story Class A apartment building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Chaskel Landau. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including an ongoing investigation into lead dust in common areas (opened September 2024) and past water leak issues (resolved June 2024). The property has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections since 2020, with the most recent inspections in 2025 indicating no rodent problems.

While there have been multiple violations related to building safety systems, such as sprinkler system deficiencies in 2022 and issues with emergency lighting and exit signs, most of these violations have been resolved. The building also faced several service interruptions and maintenance issues between 2020-2022, including hot water problems, electrical concerns, and pest-related issues, though these have generally been addressed promptly. The building's more recent history shows improved maintenance performance, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019-2020, as confirmed by the annual bedbug reports.

However, there are still active violations related to failure to submit energy benchmarking reports, as evidenced by multiple citations in 2023. The property has undergone various inspections and investigations by different city agencies, including the Department of Buildings, Department of Health, and Housing Preservation and Development, generally resulting in no severe penalties but occasionally resulting in requests for improvement or correction of safety concerns. During emergency inspections, such as the two incidents involving sprinklers in February 2022, some violations were documented but no immediate hazards were determined at the time of inspection.
