115 St Nicholas Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237

This three-story, two-unit residential building at 115 St Nicholas Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Myat San and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with complaints in January 2019 regarding inadequate system performance affecting the entire building, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. More recently, the building has had recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations in multiple years (2021-2024) for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

The building's infrastructure has faced multiple challenges, particularly in 2018-2019, when multiple plumbing-related complaints were recorded, including illegal gas work and defective plumbing systems, resulting in a Full Stop Work Order. An important safety concern emerged in January 2019 when an illegal gas by-pass was discovered supplying a gas boiler and hot water heater without proper inspections or authorization, though this violation has since been resolved. The property currently has two active violations from 2018-2019 related to plumbing permits and external low pressure inspection filings. On a more positive note, recent rodent inspections from 2020 through March 2025 have consistently passed, suggesting effective pest management.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to various compliance issues, though some historical violations remain unresolved. The most recent bedbug report for the period 2022-2023 indicated no current infestations, while earlier reports from 2020-2021 also showed no affected units. The DOB has issued several violations over the years, including a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest records. The property has participated in regular rodent inspections, with the most recent results showing compliance, indicating effective pest control measures in place despite the earlier bedbug reporting violations.
