579 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

579 Myrtle Avenue is a 3-unit, three-story residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Silvestre Pineda and constructed in 1925. The building has experienced several significant maintenance events over the past few years, with particular attention to heat and pest management. In January 2021, there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint that was promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Between 2023 and 2024, the building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations related to missing annual bedbug reports, though these violations appear to have been resolved as there have been no reported infestations in the subsequent bedbug reports for 2024 and 2025. The building's rodent inspection history shows generally good maintenance, with passed inspections in 2024 and 2022, though there was one instance of rat activity noted in 2014. The property has maintained an active compliance record since 2014, with no significant pest issues reported in recent years.

The most recent bedbug report for 2025 shows zero infested units, following two prior years (2024 and 2023) with similar results. The building has demonstrated responsiveness to complaints and regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of the heat complaint in 2021 and the administrative closure of the pest-related service request in 2024, though there was an extended period between the initial rodent complaint in 2020 and its resolution in 2024. The owner has consistently filed required reports in recent years, with the most recent bedbug filing in June 2025 showing a clean record for the reporting period.
