771 Liberty Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-unit, three-story tenement building at 771 Liberty Avenue in East New York, owned by Daniel Candelaria, has experienced some notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning pest control. In late November 2022, the property was the subject of multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and rodent sightings, with both the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) becoming involved.

The HPD investigated and confirmed the presence of pests, though their subsequent inspection indicated that the issues had been resolved, as the department noted the conditions were corrected after contacting an apartment occupant. Meanwhile, the DOHMH conducted an inspection regarding reported rat sightings and found no violations, with the property passing this particular inspection.

The building's documented history spans over a century, dating back to 1910, when it was classified as a "New Law Tenement" in accordance with New York City's housing regulations. While the pest-related complaints in late 2022 represent the most recent significant events on record for this building, it's worth noting that these issues were addressed within a week of being reported, with official closure of the complaints by early December 2022. No further complaints or violations have been recorded in the available data through October 2023, suggesting that there have been no similar issues in the period immediately following the pest incidents.
