1169 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The three-story, two-family house at 1169 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Matthew Mcintosh, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly regarding heating and water systems. Since November 2023, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water shortages, with at least six documented incidents, three of which remain unresolved as of late April 2025.

The building has also faced recurring water-related problems, including two emergency water leak incidents in March 2025 (one involving heavy flow and another with slow leakage), and a more recent heavy flow water leak complaint in April 2025. Inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were often unable to gain access to the affected units, resulting in closed complaints despite the reported issues.

Additionally, there are concerns about sanitary conditions, with a mold complaint filed in April 2025 that was inspected but resulted in no violations being issued. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly during colder months when heat and hot water issues appear to be most prevalent.
