43 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-family house at 43 Dumont Avenue in Brownsville, owned by Yosef Ariel, has a documented history of structural maintenance issues and violation proceedings spanning several years. Built in 1930, this two-story building has experienced recurring problems with its exterior masonry and stucco system, particularly between 2019 and 2021, when multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were issued due to conditions including loose, missing, and falling masonry stucco, as well as vertical and horizontal step cracks throughout the building's walls.

These violations were documented across several months from September 2019 through December 2021, with inspections noting hazardous conditions that appeared to affect both Exposure #2 and Exposure #4 of the building. While most of these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties due, the property experienced several "failure to certify correction" violations in 2021 and 2022 related to immediately hazardous conditions, though these were all dismissed. The building also encountered specific incidents of concern, including a complaint in 2018 regarding building shaking/vibration (though no violation was found at inspection) and a 2021 complaint about being vacant, open, and unguarded (again, with no violation documented at inspection).

The building's exterior issues seemed to persist through 2021, with a series of violations in that year showing a pattern of maintenance challenges. However, as of the most recent available records, there have been no new serious violations or complaints documented since 2021. Three rodent inspections in 2017 showed a failed inspection in September, followed by two passing results in October and November of that year.
