725 Miller Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 725 Miller Avenue in East New York, owned by Marie Blanchard, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent infestations and plumbing problems. In 2025, the building faced multiple rat sightings in March, with one inspection resulting in violations, though a subsequent May inspection passed compliance. The property has an active rodent control program, with May 2025 marking the most recent compliance inspection.

Plumbing issues were particularly notable in 2023, with multiple complaints about toilets, sinks, and water supply problems, though most were closed with no violations found. The building has two open Class C violations as of 2023 related to lead paint hazard notifications and record-keeping requirements. The Department of Buildings issued multiple violations in early 2024, including six citations for failing to comply with a March 2023 commissioner's order, each carrying a $2,500 penalty.

These violations relate to electrical work without proper permits, unauthorized construction work, and demolition work in the basement. The building also has two active DOB violations from 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. While there have been multiple complaints about mold and unsanitary conditions (particularly in late 2023), it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2025 show no infestations. The property has undergone several tenant safety inspections, with violations being served in 2024, and there was a Full Stop Work Order served in March 2023 for unpermitted work, though the specific details of this work are not fully documented in the available data.
