645 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 4-story, 6-unit building at 645 Myrtle Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Shulem Berger and constructed in 1905, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, with the most immediate being a power outage in March 2025. The property has a notable history of heating and hot water problems, particularly between late 2021 and 2022, with multiple complaints (some requiring emergency responses) regarding inadequate heat and hot water in apartments, though most inspections found no violations.
In 2024, significant issues were identified in apartment 3R, including multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, requiring both repair and compliance certification, along with several paint-related violations affecting various walls throughout the unit. The building has faced ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with multiple inspections in 2024 showing consistent rat activity, though recent inspections in 2025 showed bait applied.
The property has accumulated several active violations with the Department of Buildings, including an EPA violation from December 2023 regarding improper maintenance of window A/C units, and multiple outstanding violations for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2024. While the building has demonstrated some success in pest management, as evidenced by the eradication of bedbugs in multiple units between 2022-2024, the ongoing rodent inspections suggest persistent challenges. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection access issues, where inspectors were unable to access units during several emergency heat/hot water complaints between 2021-2022, and most recent complaints regarding ventilation systems and electrical issues in 2024-2025.
