536 Driggs Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11211

536 Driggs Avenue is a three-story, five-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and owned by Phillip Miller. The 1910 structure is classified as a two-family house but currently operates as a five-unit building. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory compliance issues in recent years, most notably concerning its boiler safety requirements.

As of September 2024, there are multiple active violations related to the failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports for its low-pressure boiler, with penalties totaling $655. These violations span several years, including failures to file inspections for 2018-2023, indicating ongoing non-compliance with the Department of Buildings' requirements. The building has been subject to multiple food-related incidents, with two reported cases of food poisoning in late 2022 and 2024, though both were determined to be isolated incidents by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Additional health department complaints from 2022 included issues related to food protection, permits, and kitchen areas, all of which were administratively closed. While the property has generally maintained good pest control records, with no bedbug infestations reported in 2021-2024 and successful rodent inspection passes in 2017 and 2019, there were three significant complaints filed with the Department of Buildings in 2019: one regarding a compliance audit where inspectors were unable to gain access, and two related to COVID-19 executive order violations. The building has also shown some degree of responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work, though the current pattern of boiler inspection violations suggests persistent maintenance oversight issues.
