1448 Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11237
The 2-family house at 1448 Myrtle Avenue in Bushwick, owned by Michael Shah, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water problems. Between 2021 and 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, affecting both entire building and individual apartments. While some complaints were resolved, others ended without proper inspections due to inability to access the units.
More recent concerns include active violations from 2019 for failure to file annual boiler inspections and external low-pressure inspections, which remain unresolved as of mid-2023. The building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including plumbing issues in 2021 and rodent problems, with the most recent inspections in 2025 showing ongoing rat activity. While multiple rodent baiting efforts were conducted between 2023 and 2025, inspections consistently revealed rat activity.
The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last four reporting periods from 2021 through 2025. Two violations were issued in 2019 regarding public hall lighting and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected in 2019. A construction-related complaint in 2021 was closed without access to the property being granted. The building received its most recent permit issuance in June 2020 for unspecified work.
