457 Milford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 457 Milford Street in East New York, owned by Deborah Romain-samuels and constructed in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance challenges as of August 2024. Most notably, the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO) has multiple open violations following an August 2024 inspection, including issues with lead-based paint hazards, unaddressed pest infestations (mice), multiple walls requiring repair or repainting, and missing carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations are particularly concerning from a resident safety perspective, especially the lead paint and carbon monoxide detector issues. Additionally, there appears to be an ongoing pest problem in the building, as evidenced by a recent 311 service request for unsanitary conditions related to pests in August 2024. The building's recent history shows some attention to permitted work, with a permit issued in March 2020, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.

A Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in September 2024, but the inspection could not be completed due to access issues. Unlike many NYC buildings which might have a more extensive violation history, this property has relatively few documented issues prior to 2024, with only one passed rodent inspection on record from July 2012. The current cluster of violations suggests a period of deferred maintenance that may be affecting resident quality of life.
