180 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11201

180 Myrtle Avenue is a 15-story, 228-unit apartment building in Fort Greene, constructed in 2014 and currently owned by John Catsimatidis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its operational history. Of particular concern was a building-wide heat and hot water outage in February 2021, which was resolved within days according to HPD records.

The building has undergone multiple inspections for rodent activity, with reports of rat sightings in both 2021 and 2023, though recent inspections in 2023 resulted in passing compliance. Between 2021 and 2024, there were three recorded smoking violation complaints and one food spoilage incident, all of which were addressed according to DOHMH records. The property has faced various administrative violations primarily related to building maintenance compliance, including multiple instances of failing to file required annual bedbug reports, though records from 2021-2024 indicate no reported infestations.

The building has experienced recurring issues with elevator compliance, though inspections in 2023 found no violations, and there have been several complaints regarding after-hours work and work without proper permits, which were also dismissed upon inspection. The Department of Buildings has issued several violations over the years related to energy efficiency reporting and elevator maintenance, though these were generally dismissed or resolved promptly. Recent bedbug reports (2021-2024) show consistent compliance with zero reported infested units, and rodent inspections have generally shown improvement, with the most recent inspection in April 2023 passing compliance. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrading work, with multiple permits issued for various maintenance projects between 2020 and 2021.
