368 East 28th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 2-family house at 368 East 28th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Myrtle Williams, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, especially notable during 2019. The most pressing concerns centered around multiple power outages in April 2019, with at least five separate complaints regarding electric problems, including two that were designated as "power outage" emergencies.

The building also faced pest control challenges, with multiple reports of rodent infestations in both 1st and 2nd-story apartments, leading to formal housing maintenance code violations requiring the abatement of both mice and roach infestations. Additional maintenance issues documented in 2019 included problems with heat and hot water throughout the building, various plumbing issues, and concerns regarding interior paint and plaster conditions. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducted a rodent inspection in May 2019, which resulted in a passing grade, though earlier inspections in 2013 had documented rat activity.

As of June 2025, there is an active complaint filed with the Department of Buildings regarding an alleged illegal conversion of the property, though specific details and disposition are currently unavailable. The building, constructed in 1899, features two stories and contains two units, though no significant maintenance issues or code violations have been documented since 2019, suggesting that major systems and building conditions may have stabilized, at least temporarily. The property received its last documented rodent inspection in May 2019, which passed, following an earlier history of pest control issues that required intervention and resulted in multiple housing maintenance violations.
