712 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building at 712 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Norma Hall, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there is an ongoing pest control concern, with a Housing Maintenance Code violation regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has documented these unsanitary conditions, with the most recent inspection in April 2024 showing an open violation status. The building has also faced heat and hot water system challenges, with two emergency complaints filed in January and October 2020 - one concerning the entire building and the other related to individual apartments. In both instances, HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, and the complaints were subsequently closed.

The building's most recent inspection results show a pattern of non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all related to the failure to submit required documentation under Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code. Historical records show that the building had passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, indicating some prior attention to pest control measures, but the current situation suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining proper building conditions. The property, constructed in 1930, has been subject to various regulatory requirements over the years, and while some past issues have been addressed, such as the heat and hot water complaints from 2020, the persistent open violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements represent the most significant current concern.
