966 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 966 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Abe Green and constructed in 2004, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly affecting essential services. From 2023 to early 2024, there were multiple complaints and emergencies related to heat and hot water systems, including incidents affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced recurring plumbing issues, particularly concerning water supply problems, with the most recent report being filed in November 2023.

While most recent complaints have been promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), multiple violations remain open as of April 2024 regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure challenges, including emergency plumbing issues and heating system failures, particularly notable in 2021-2023. In 2021, there were emergency repairs needed for doors/windows and continued water supply problems.

An inspection in late 2021 revealed defective brick risers and mortar joints in the front stairway, which was subsequently repaired. The building's pest control record shows recent rodent inspections in 2022, 2023, and early 2025 generally passed, with one identified case of "Rat Activity" in August 2022. While the property has maintained compliance with regular inspections, the recurring issues with heat/hot water and water supply systems suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure. The most recent records indicate improved conditions, with the building passing multiple recent inspections and showing generally prompt responses to service requests, though the open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements remain notable.
