517 Milford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story residential building at 517 Milford Street in East New York, owned by 144 Cooper Street Nick Inb, LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and hygiene-related issues since its construction in 2006. Most notably, during 2022, the building faced multiple complaints regarding pest infestations and unsanitary conditions, including rat sightings in March and ongoing pest issues in March-April.

While some of these complaints were eventually closed without violations, the property received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in September 2022, including issues with garbage storage, encumbrances in public areas, and a fly infestation in the first-story public hall. The building's violation records from 2022-2024 show several unresolved safety and maintenance concerns, including the need to remove encumbering items, and multiple requirements for posting various safety and administrative notices in the public areas. The property has undergone some recent inspections and reporting requirements.

A bedbug report was filed in November 2024 for the period of November 2022 to October 2023, showing no infestation in dwelling units during that time, and a rodent inspection conducted in June 2022 passed, following an initial failed inspection in May 2022. The building's current status as of 2024 shows that while some earlier violations have been closed, several citations from the September 2022 inspection remain open, including requirements for proper signage related to building registration, smoke detector requirements, and the availability of housing information guides. The most recent inspection records suggest some improvement in pest control compliance, as evidenced by the June 2022 passing grade, though the history of unsanitary conditions and multiple code violations in 2022 indicates past challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
