662 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-story, three-unit building at 662 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Veronica Cummings, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past year, particularly between November and December 2023, with multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access units for inspection during two of the three heat-related complaints.

The building has also generated multiple work order complaints in November 2023, including issues with sanitation (mold and pests), various maintenance problems (cabinet, plumbing, paint/plaster, and flooring), though not all resulted in violations. Currently, there are several open violations from an April 2024 inspection, including requirements for bedbug reporting, gas leak safety notices, heating system access, and carbon monoxide/smoke detector requirements.

Specific issues affecting Unit 1B include ongoing problems with heat supply and a defective bathtub mixing valve, both noted as Class C violations indicating more serious concerns. The building's historical records show past compliance with rodent inspections in 2011-2012 and no bedbug infestations reported in recent years (with filings showing 0 units affected between 2020-2023). While the building has not had reported infestations since 2022, the current open violations suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance.
