752 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 752 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Ismene Speliotis, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly throughout 2024. Most concerning are ongoing mold problems, with multiple complaints and violations recorded in both July and October 2024. The building has also faced persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by emergency complaints in June 2024. Apartment 1F has emerged as a particular focus of violations in 2024, with open class B and C violations related to water leaks, mold, and pest infestations including roaches and mice, as well as plaster and paint issues in the kitchen and foyer areas.

The building's historical record shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including three active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to blocked emergency exit passageways. These violations described obstructions from shopping carts and household debris that were found to impede access from fire escapes. There have also been compliance issues regarding the certification of hazardous violations in 2022. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020 and recent rodent inspections from 2011-2012 passed without issue, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has a history of various maintenance issues dating back to 2019, including blocked egress violations and a failure to maintain requirements during construction work. Recent service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations indicate ongoing issues with unsanitary conditions, including both mold and pest problems, as well as infrastructure concerns such as plumbing and flooring problems in multiple areas of the building. The most recent complaints from 2024 have resulted in multiple open violations that require attention. The building was constructed in 1930 and according to its classification is designated as a "New Law Tenement."
