1154 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 1154 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Meir Kohn, has a complex history since its 1931 construction under the Old Law Tenement classification. Most notably, the building has an ongoing pattern of failing to submit mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024 remaining unresolved as of July 2025.

Between 2018 and 2021, there were significant concerns about potential illegal conversions of the first floor, with multiple complaints about unauthorized SRO modifications including bunk beds, bathrooms, and a kitchen installation, though these matters were eventually resolved. The building has also faced various compliance issues, including a 2019 violation for failing to file the annual boiler inspection report, which remains active as of 2025. More recently, there was a gas utility referral complaint in August 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

Despite these challenges, the property has passed all rodent inspections conducted between 2019 and 2025, demonstrating compliance with this particular health requirement. The most recent inspections reveal consistent adherence to rodent control standards, with annual inspections showing "Passed" results. While the building has experienced multiple regulatory issues over the years, particularly regarding documentation and unauthorized modifications, recent patterns suggest some stability, though the failure to address the bedbug reporting requirement remains a notable concern.
