239 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

239 Montrose Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Miriam Yavo. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent incident occurring in February 2023 involving water supply problems that required HPD intervention, though these were subsequently resolved.

The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, with recent filings from 2024 showing no infested units, though there was an outstanding violation from June 2023 regarding a late 2018 external low-pressure inspection. Historically, the building has faced various maintenance challenges, including documented violations in 2012 related to defective ceramic floor tiles in the first-floor public hall and a malfunctioning street entrance door lock, both of which were certified as corrected in 2018-2019.

The 1980s records reveal multiple issues in apartment 1R, including problems with electrical lighting fixtures, smoke detector requirements, entrance door security features, and various repairs needed in the bathroom and kitchen areas, all of which have since been addressed. While there were concerning rodent inspection results in 2014 showing rat activity and compliance failure, the absence of recent similar complaints may indicate this issue has been resolved. The building's recent record shows generally improved maintenance responsiveness, though the active DOB violation from 2023 regarding an external low-pressure inspection remains open as of April 2024.
