747 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

747 Blake Avenue is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and owned by Gary Golding. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant recent problems occurring in 2024.

A cluster of emergency service requests in May 2024 included water leaks with heavy flow, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and problems with doors and windows, particularly affecting apartments 3A and 3D. The Housing Maintenance Code violations from a June 2024 inspection revealed multiple problems in apartment 3A, including water leaks, pest infestations (both mice and roaches), and issues with window functionality, while apartment 3D had violations related to paint conditions and electrical outlets. Earlier in 2023, there were also various maintenance issues documented, including plumbing and wall problems, though some of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements in certain areas, with regular rodent inspections demonstrating compliance since 2023 (following a prior failure in 2019), and a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2021, with no reported cases in the last four annual reporting periods. While the building has had multiple violations and complaints over the past few years, particularly focusing on water issues and pest infestations, the management has generally responded to service requests, with most recent violations being noted as open following the June 2024 inspection. The property has regular inspections and monitoring for both bedbugs and rodent control, with the most recent rodent inspection in 2023 passing.
