1167 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

1167 Myrtle Avenue is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building located in Bushwick and constructed in 1931, currently owned by Michael Ho. The building has a notable history of maintaining compliance with recent health and safety standards, as evidenced by passing multiple rodent inspections every six months, with the most recent passing rodent inspection in May 2025.

The property has demonstrated strong pest management practices, with no recorded bedbug infestations or incidents between 2020 and 2024, and consistent reports of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during each annual reporting period. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent significant incident occurring in 2021, when violations were issued regarding a defective window frame in apartment 3R that required HPD intervention. This violation was resolved within approximately three weeks.

Earlier violations included three separate instances between 2013 and 2014 related to fire escape ladder safety, specifically concerning the installation of a securely attached shoe at the bottom of the string, and a bathroom flushing apparatus issue in 1990 in apartment 1R. All these historical violations have been properly closed, with the most recent fire escape ladder violations being certified as resolved in 2022. The building's relatively recent maintenance history, combined with its consistent rodent control compliance and absence of pest problems, suggests active management of residential safety and habitability standards, though it's worth noting that most recent violations occurred in 2021 and have been fully addressed.
