974 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
974 Myrtle Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by David Kramer and constructed in 1899 as an Old Law Tenement. The building has experienced persistent pest issues in recent years, with documented rodent activity showing up in multiple inspections throughout 2024 and 2025, despite several bait applications by health authorities. The most recent unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests was filed in February 2025, though HPD was unable to complete an inspection.
The building's heating system has also presented problems, with two emergency heat/hot water complaints in January-February 2022, during which inspectors were unable to access the apartments for verification. The property has a clean record regarding bedbugs, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units between 2019 and 2023. Two Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded: one in 2022 regarding gas leak notification procedures (which was certified as corrected in April 2022), and another in 2023 related to the mandatory annual bedbug report filing (currently uncured).
A structural stability complaint was filed in June 2024 regarding building shaking, but no violations were found upon inspection. The Department of Buildings shows one permit issuance in June 2019 for plumbing work. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly with heating and rodent control, the recent bedbug reports suggest the property has maintained good control over that particular pest problem, and there have been no documented gas leak incidents since the 2022 violation was addressed.
