642 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207
The 2-story, 4-unit residential tenement building at 642 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Sam Miller LLC, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, there were recurring rodent-related complaints and inspections, with the most recent occurring in December 2023, when the property passed inspection despite earlier complaints about rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. The building has faced several significant violations related to safety and habitability, particularly in 2022-2023.
These included multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding self-closing doors, pest infestations (including roaches and mice in Apartment 2F), electrical issues, and lead paint hazards. The property has shown attention to compliance since then, with violations being closed following inspections. In 2019, the building was subject to numerous violations and penalties relating to construction safety, including issues with electrical wiring, building walls, and construction debris management, resulting in several Environmental Control Board penalties totaling over $5,000.
The Department of Buildings documented various complaints and violations between 2019-2020, including concerns about electrical wiring, unauthorized construction work, and building maintenance failures. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reporting periods showing zero infested units since 2021. The most recent permit activity shows ongoing management of building systems, with new plumbing permits issued in 2025. The building's rodent inspection history shows improved compliance, with recent inspections passing, though earlier inspections in 2022 had failed for "Other Reasons."
