471 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 2-family residential building at 471 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Theresa Demeo, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, with the most pressing being a cooking gas issue in April 2025 that resulted in violations requiring correction. This building, constructed in 1955, has a documented history of structural concerns, most notably an active violation from March 2023 citing multiple cracks in the rear facade, second floor issues, and problems with lintels that resulted in a $3,125 penalty.

The property has also faced rodent issues, with inspections in February and March 2025 both confirming rat activity, following a compliance pass in 2013. Previous enforcement actions include a March 2023 situation that required an Oath Violation, and a construction-related complaint from October 2019 that led to a Stop Work Order (though this was fully rescinded by February 2022).

The building has undergone various permitting processes, with a specific work permit issued in January 2019 under job number 321705909, which was later withdrawn. While the most recent building-related incidents primarily involve pest control and structural maintenance concerns, the property has shown some pattern of maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the various violations and complaints over the past few years.
