595 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The five-story, 3-unit residential building at 595 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Mark Berkowitz, has experienced several notable maintenance and management issues since 2012. Most recently, there has been an ongoing electrical lighting issue reported in March 2025, which remains open under Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though an HPD inspection was unable to gain access to verify the problem.

The building has maintained a consistent record of successful bedbug management, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past four years, as evidenced by annual bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 showing zero affected units. The property has faced challenges with rodent management, particularly between 2012 and 2024, with multiple failed compliance inspections recorded in late 2012, late 2022, and an initial inspection in October 2022.

While there was some improvement noted with bait application in December 2022 and a Pass result in June 2024, the history indicates persistent pest control difficulties. Additionally, a violation was recorded in April 2021 regarding the late filing of the annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved as subsequent reports have been submitted regularly. A permit for unknown work was issued in January 2019, but no details about this work are provided in the available data.
