876 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

876 Kent Avenue, a 4-unit, 4-story building completed in 2015 and owned by Meilech Friedman, has experienced several significant events throughout its history, with most occurring between 2020-2021. The building faced multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to construction work, including several instances of work performed contrary to stop work orders in July 2020, resulting in penalties ranging from $625 to $5,000. During this period, there were also complaints about debris and safety concerns, though most inspections conducted at the time found no violations warranting further action, except for one building violation issued for failure to obey a stop work order.

In 2021, the building received several environmental control board (ECB) violations for failure to comply with previously issued orders, with penalties totaling between $1,250 and $2,500. The property is currently in compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the latest filings indicating zero infested units from 2022 through mid-2025. Both the 2024 and 2022 rodent inspections passed successfully, though historical records from 2010-2011 show several failed inspections for other reasons.

The building's permit history shows several permits issued for various work types between 2018 and 2022, including plumbing, new building work, and electrical work, with the most recent permits related to electrical work issued in 2021-2022. Recent records show improved compliance with housing maintenance codes and no new violations or complaints since 2022, suggesting a positive trend in building maintenance and oversight. The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring and reporting system since 2022, with no reported infestations in any of the four units, and recent rodent inspections have indicated proper pest management practices are being maintained.
