1157 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 10-unit, 5-story building at 1157 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Jenna Goldman and constructed in 2017, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of cooking gas-related problems, with five separate emergency complaints about cooking gas reported between February and March 2025, all of which were marked as duplicates of a building-wide condition.

The building has also faced heat and hot water issues, with violations recorded in early 2025 concerning inadequate hot water supply in both apartments 1A and 2A, and problems with the locked boiler room access. Additional maintenance concerns include flooring issues in multiple areas (November 2024 and January 2025), a power outage in December 2024, and a slow water leak reported in October 2024. Of particular concern is the recent investigation as of November 2024 regarding illegal transient occupancy of unit 3A, which has resulted in active Environmental Control Board violations with $7,500 in penalties related to improper use as a transient unit, safety concerns about means of egress, and a missing fire alarm system.

The building's pest control history shows regular bedbug reporting from 2020 to 2024 with no reported infestations or successful eradications during the specified periods. While rodent inspections have shown mixed results, with multiple "Rat Activity" reports between 2022 and 2024, the most recent inspections in May 2025 have resulted in passing grades. The property has also had several Class A violations requiring annual bedbug report filings between 2020 and 2024, and two open violations from 2020 regarding posting requirements for building management contact information and gas leak procedures, though these appear to have been addressed in more recent filings.
