408 Montauk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

408 Montauk Avenue is a 3-story, 9-unit, New Law tenement built in 1928 located in East New York, currently owned by 408 Montauk Ave Realty LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented emergencies affecting either the entire building or individual units in December 2022, November 2021, January 2019, and February 2019.

While these issues were typically resolved promptly, they indicate a persistent maintenance challenge. The building has also been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2019 and 2024, with a current active Department of Buildings violation for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report as of September 2024. In February 2019, a series of violations were documented for Apartment B1, including safety concerns such as missing window guards, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and peeling paint in several areas.

These violations were subsequently closed following correction. The building's bedbug reporting history from 2020 to present shows consistent compliance, with zero reported infestations, while an initial rodent inspection from 2012 resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that pest control management has improved over the years. Despite the documented history of heating system issues and the recent external inspection violation, the building has generally maintained compliance with major housing codes in recent years, with no new violations reported since 2024.
