1163 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The four-story, six-unit building at 1163 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Lawrence Andelsman, has experienced several notable incidents since 2019. A significant violation occurred in July 2019 regarding unauthorized occupancy changes, with the ECB imposing a $1,250 penalty related to the first floor's conversion from retail to medical use without proper certification.

During 2019, there were multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints, including reports of construction work and exposed electrical wiring, though inspections found insufficient evidence for some claims, and one resulted in an Oath violation. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug management compliance, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2024), though there were two violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to submit annual reports, with these issues now resolved.

Of particular concern is the building's recent rodent inspection history, showing a pattern of failing initial inspections in mid-2023 and mid-2024, though it passed subsequent inspections in May 2024 and May 2025. The property has obtained multiple work permits in 2019 for various repairs and improvements, including plumbing and electrical work. While the building's overall maintenance record shows regular inspections and prompt attention to most violations, the rodent issues and the 2019 occupancy violation stand out as significant concerns in its recent history, though the bedbug reporting compliance appears to be in good standing as of the most recent filings.
