667 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 667 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Keren Dar, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning problems emerging in early 2025. In January 2025 alone, multiple violations were documented, including flooring issues in common areas, plumbing problems with basins/sinks, and pest infestations, with both mold and sanitary violations noted during inspections. A February 2024 inspection found inadequate heating in Apartment 1, resulting in open Class C violations regarding access to the heating system and inadequate heat supply.

Historically, the building has faced recurring pest problems, including documented mice infestations in 2020, though recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicate no current infestations. Past violations show a pattern of maintenance challenges, including lead paint issues in Apartment 2 (2020), egress obstructions on the third floor (2022), and multiple bedbug report filings between 2020-2024 requiring attention. The building, constructed in 1935, has a documented history of regulatory inspections and service requests, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints being filed regularly.

While some issues have been resolved through HPD inspections and violations have been closed, several open Class C violations from 2024 regarding heating systems and maintenance access remain particularly concerning. The property has generally passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2019, indicating some areas of maintenance compliance, while other complaints have been addressed through standard inspection processes. The most recent service requests from January 2025 included complaints about windows, stairs, and electrical systems, though most were closed with no violations found, except for the plumbing and flooring issues.
