407 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The property at 407 Miller Avenue in East New York is a two-story, two-family house built in 1899 and currently owned by Brenda Jennings. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in early 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed between January 29 and January 30 regarding various safety and maintenance concerns. These included problems with doors, electrical outlets, and a carbon monoxide detector, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

A heat and hot water complaint from January 29 was verified and corrected during an inspection. The building's history also shows some previous concerns, including a rodent attraction issue identified by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2021, and a garbage/recycling storage problem investigated by HPD in May 2021, though no violations were found in that instance. In early 2024, there were two complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms in the building, both filed on January 30, 2024.

While one of these complaints was closed with an "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" status, the other was inspected on March 4, 2024, with a similar access issue noted in the inspection records. All the recent complaints from 2024 have been closed, though the resolution descriptions indicate that not all inspections were completed successfully. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of access issues for inspectors trying to verify reported concerns, particularly for the January 2024 complaints, suggesting some challenges in confirming the conditions requiring attention.
