734 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 734 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Abraham Grunhut and built in 1930, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with three separate complaints in late 2023 and early 2025, including one emergency complaint in March 2025.

The building has also faced multiple safety concerns, particularly regarding window guards, with six complaints between 2023-2024, including one violation issued in May 2023. The third floor apartment (3F) has documented issues with pest infestations, including mice and roaches, which were cited as violations in May 2023, though these appear to have been addressed by August 2023. In addition to the above issues, the building has had problems with doors and windows, with several complaints and violations related to defective self-closing doors in both lobby and third-floor locations, documented in 2023.

A significant boiler-related incident occurred in July 2021, when multiple violations were noted regarding water temperature, flue support, and other equipment issues, though these were eventually resolved. The property has maintained an active record of bedbug inspections since 2019, with some infestations reported in previous years, though recent filings (2022-2025) show no current infestations. While the building has generally addressed its violations and complaints, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and safety concerns about window guards are notable patterns, though most recent complaints have been resolved relatively quickly, often through tenant verification rather than direct inspection.
