920 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

This three-story, two-unit New Law Tenement building at 920 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Yenci Castillo, has been standing since 1931 and has experienced several significant events over the past few years. The property faced heating issues in January 2021, with multiple emergency complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though these complaints were eventually closed.

The building has had recurring food establishment complaints, with the most recent cases in 2023 involving food contamination and improper food handling practices, though these were administratively closed after being addressed. Of particular note is an active violation from January 2021 regarding exterior maintenance, specifically missing wooden siding on the third floor that reportedly left the building open to water penetration, with a penalty imposed of $625. The building has demonstrated a generally good track record in recent inspections, with all rodent inspections from 2020 through 2025 passing successfully.

While there have been annual bedbug reporting violations noted from 2021 through 2024, the most recent 2024-2025 filing shows zero infested units, suggesting effective management of this issue. The property has maintained relatively consistent compliance with housing maintenance codes, with no recent emergency complaints or active violations recorded since 2021. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing issues as they arise, though some complaints initially went unresolved or required multiple reports before being fully addressed.
