1200 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

1200 Myrtle Avenue is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building in Bushwick, owned by Josef Friedman and constructed in 2006. The property has recently experienced several concerning issues in March 2025, including complaints about heat/hot water issues, unsanitary sewage conditions, and mold, all of which were classified as emergencies. Notably, HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported problems during their investigation attempts.

While these complaints have been officially closed, the resolution notes indicate that new complaints should be filed if the conditions persist. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations, with all eight annual reports from 2019-2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units. Additionally, the property has consistently passed all rodent inspections, with nine successful passes recorded between 2019 and June 2025, indicating good pest control management in this regard.

The building's maintenance history exhibits a mix of recent challenges and long-standing compliance. The heat/hot water, sewage, and mold issues in March 2025 represent the most significant recent concerns, while the persistent inability to conduct inspections during those complaint investigations raises some concern about access coordination. However, the absence of bedbug infestations and consistent passing of rodent inspections demonstrate effective pest management practices. The building's overall structure and historical compliance with various inspections suggest reasonable maintenance practices, though the recent emergency complaints indicate potential areas of attention in building systems and access protocols.
