956 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The 4-story, 4-unit Old Law Tenement building at 956 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, built in 1931 and currently managed by 956 Myrtle Avenue Hdfc, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems and window infrastructure. The property has documented multiple heating and hot water complaints since late 2022, with the most recent emergency complaint in May 2024 not resulting in successful inspections due to access issues.
Window-related problems have been persistent, with emergency complaints recorded in both 2025 and 2024, including an open violation from May 2024 regarding a defective lower sash frame in Apartment 1A. The building has also faced safety concerns, most notably a fire escape complaint in 2023 that remained open until June 2024.
Recent inspection findings from May 2024 revealed several open violations in Apartment 1A, including issues with water leaks, defective plaster and paint surfaces, inoperable carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, a malfunctioning bathroom vent, and various other maintenance concerns. The building's rodent control history shows mixed results, with multiple bait applications in early 2025 following initial rat activity detections, though a compliance inspection in May 2025 passed. Bedbug reporting from 2022-2023 indicates no infestations during the reporting periods, and while there have been various door/window and flooring issues reported through 311 complaints and HPD inspections, many of these cases ended without successful access for inspections or were marked as closed without violations being cited.
