448 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The 3-unit, 4-story old law tenement building at 448 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Angelia Chou, has experienced multiple significant maintenance and safety issues throughout 2023, with two active violations as of September 2023. Recent concerns include active violations regarding insecure stair tread conditions and sagging kitchen ceiling in Apartment 3, both noted in September 2023, and a history of pest-related complaints including two unsanitary condition reports for pests in September 2023, with previous pest issues documented in May 2023.

The building has had recurring ventilation system problems, with violations issued in both July and June 2023, and multiple complaints regarding the bell/buzzer/intercom system. The Department of Buildings inspection records reveal a series of construction-related complaints throughout mid-2023, including a partial vacate order served in July 2023 concerning an illegal conversion, and issues related to electrical wiring and work without permits.

While some complaints resulted in no violations being issued, there have been multiple instances requiring official violations, particularly related to construction enforcement. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no current infestations as of June 2024, following the eradication of four units between 2021-2022, suggesting some improvement in pest management. The property has undergone several government inspections throughout 2023, with varying outcomes from citations to no violations being issued, indicating ongoing attention to maintaining compliance with housing codes.
