1203 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1203 Myrtle Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bushwick, built in 1931 and currently managed by B & R Management LP. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water in the past, with complaints filed in December 2019 and September 2020 regarding the entire building's lack of heat/hot water - both cases resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to units for inspection. Additionally, there was a food establishment-related complaint in 2021 concerning bare hands in food contact, which was administratively closed.

The building has demonstrated some maintenance challenges, with an open violation as of June 2021 regarding leaky/defective kitchen faucets in apartment 3A and a previous violation requiring the filing of an annual bedbug report in April 2021. On a more positive note, 1203 Myrtle Avenue has maintained an impressive record regarding pest management and sanitation. The building has consistently passed rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in March 2025 showing compliance.

The property has maintained a zero infestation record for bedbugs over multiple reporting periods from 2020 through 2025, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. The building's management appears to have addressed pest control adequately, as evidenced by the regular passing of rodent inspections and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years. While there were some maintenance issues in the past, particularly related to heating systems, these problems appear to have been resolved based on the lack of recent complaints in this area.
