237 Montrose Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 237 Montrose Avenue in East Williamsburg, owned by Phillip Miller and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable incidents regarding tenant comfort and building maintenance. Most concerning are the two recent heat/hot water emergencies in 2024 and 2020, with the 2024 incident resulting in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced compliance challenges, receiving four consecutive Annual Bedbug Report violations between 2020-2023, though recent filings show zero infestations or eradications.
In mid-2020, there were construction-related issues, including a stop-work order and an Environmental Control Board violation concerning access denial to an inspector, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained an active response to pest control, with consistent reporting of zero bedbug incidents in recent years, and the 2014-2015 rodent inspections indicate significant rat activity followed by compliance passes. An inspection in December 2020 noted a violation regarding the proper display of inspection certificates near mailboxes, which was certified as corrected on December 17, 2020.
Additional building-related complaints in 2020 concerning permits and construction work were either resolved with no violations found or resulted in stop-work orders. While the building has shown improvement in several areas, the recurring heat/hot water issues and historical pest problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most current bedbug report shows no active infestations as of 2024, indicating successful eradication efforts during the past reporting period.
