461 Milford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 461 Milford Street in East New York, owned by Jeong Lee, has experienced a series of significant and recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with particular emphasis on electrical problems. Most notably, there have been four documented power outages between May and July 2024 that resulted in violations, with the most recent outages occurring in July 2024 through both immediate and emergency complaints.

The building has also faced multiple environmental challenges, including two instances of mold (June and July 2024), though violations were issued only for the later complaint, while the earlier complaint required access that could not be obtained. Other recurring issues include plumbing difficulties (July 2024), problems with paint and plaster on both ceilings and walls (June and July 2024), and a lack of heat/hot water in July 2024, where inspections were hindered by access restrictions.

Earlier complaints in 2024 indicate additional maintenance needs, including a heavy water leak reported in May that was investigated without resulting in violations. The building, dating back to 1920, has shown a concerning pattern of urgent maintenance needs over recent months, particularly during the summer of 2024, with several complaints categorized as emergencies or immediate emergencies requiring prompt attention. While many of these issues have been officially closed following inspections, the recurring nature of electrical problems and various maintenance challenges suggests ongoing systems that may require continued monitoring.
