462 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

462 Myrtle Avenue is a four-story, four-unit residential building located in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, built in 1905 and currently owned by Donald Matheson. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout the past several years, with the most recent complaint occurring in January 2025 affecting the entire building. In 2019, there were multiple complaints related to plumbing issues, including water supply problems and slow leaks, as well as another heat-related complaint.

Additional concerns have been documented regarding doors/windows, with several complaints between 2018-2019. The building underwent inspections in 2022 and 2023 that revealed violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings indicate only one infested unit between 2023-2024, which was reportedly eradicated. The property has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including a period of pest-related issues in 2019 when a violation for roaches was recorded in Apartment 2. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in 2019, including problems with the bell buzzer/intercom system and window issues in Apartment 2, as well as concerns about door security.

Earlier violations from 2018-2019 mentioned problems with fire escape functionality. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues with an inability to gain apartment access during inspections, particularly notable in heat/hot water and plumbing complaints. While recent bedbug reports indicate better control measures, the recurring nature of heat, water, and access-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years. The building's rodent inspection history from 2010-2013 indicates previous rodent issues, though the last recorded compliance inspection in 2013 showed passing results.
