256 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 256 Montauk Avenue in East New York, owned by Lloyd Myers, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident being a power outage reported in September 2024 that resulted in an inspection attempt by HPD, but access could not be gained for proper evaluation. The building's most critical period of problems appears to have occurred in late 2022, when multiple violations were documented between November 12 and November 15, including issues with heating/hot water systems, cooking gas problems, and pest infestations, all of which received emergency classifications, though specific violation details require checking via the HPD website.

During the same month, there were also complaints about window frames and flooring, with the former noted under emergency designation but the latter categorized as non-emergency, while three additional unsanitary conditions related to pests and general issues were reported, some of which received non-emergency status. Prior to these incidents, the building had complaints related to cooking gas and mold in December 2022, which were addressed between December and March 2023, and a complaint regarding window frames from November 2022.

Looking further back, there was an illegal conversion complaint filed in April 2019, which resulted in denied access for inspection. It's worth noting that while most of these complaints were investigated and closed, several did receive violations requiring attention, particularly those related to heating systems and pest control, which typically have a more direct impact on resident comfort and safety. The building, constructed in 1901, is two stories high and contains two units.
