466 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, two-family house at 466 Myrtle Avenue in Clinton Hill, owned by Kit Hong Lai, has experienced several health and building maintenance issues since 2018. Most recently, in 2024, the building faced multiple health department interventions, including reports of food poisoning and rodent sightings, with the latter resulting in violations that required follow-up inspections.

The property has a concerning pattern of food safety incidents, with similar food poisoning complaints recorded in December 2022 and May 2024, though these were deemed isolated by health authorities. The building's plumbing history shows regulatory attention, with an August 2018 complaint about defective plumbing leading to a stop work order in October 2018, though this was ultimately dismissed in April 2019 after the original master plumber's suspension was resolved. Despite these challenges, some positive developments are noteworthy: the building has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections, with no reported infestations or eradications recorded in the past three years (2021-2024).

Rodent inspections present a mixed picture, with the most recent inspection in May 2024 passing compliance checks, though an April 2024 inspection had failed for unspecified reasons. The building's age (built in 1930) and classification as a two-family house are consistent with typical residential structures in the area. While the property has experienced recurring health and maintenance issues, particularly in the plumbing and pest control domains, the absence of bedbug problems and recent improvements in rodent control suggest some progress in building maintenance.
