149 Milford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

149 Milford Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building built in 1925, currently owned by Stephanie Sauzo. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most pressing recent concerns being an open heat/hot water complaint from late 2024 and a heavy water leak reported in April 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect.

The building's maintenance history shows significant problems emerged in March 2024, when multiple violations were documented including plumbing issues with basins/sinks, water leaks (both slow and heavy), electrical problems (lighting and outlets), window frame concerns, pest infestations, and unsanitary conditions involving mold. Specifically, Apartment 3A was found to have serious issues including insufficient water supply (both hot and cold), a pest infestation (roaches), multiple maintenance violations requiring repairs to plastered surfaces, and defective door hardware. Apartment 3B had documented violations related to electrical service safety, missing smoke detectors, and a previous mouse infestation that was officially closed in November 2023.

The building's historical records show attention to boiler maintenance issues in 2019, with violations documented for multiple boiler systems including a Weil-McLain unit with relief valve problems and a Laars unit with several maintenance issues. Despite these challenges, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in all annual reporting periods since 2018, and showed some level of rodent control, passing inspections in 2012 and 2018, though there was a failure noted in January 2018 for "Other Reasons". The property has had various maintenance issues over the years, but recent patterns suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and unit maintenance, particularly affecting the comfort and safety of residents in Units 3A and 3B.
