852 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The three-story residential building at 852 Belmont Avenue in East New York, owned by Clanton France and constructed in 2004, has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in Apartment 3. Most notably, in August 2022, multiple serious issues were identified, including pest infestations (specifically roaches), various plumbing and flooring problems, and multiple housing maintenance code violations that remain open as of October 2023.

These violations include the need to replace defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, repair inoperative electrical outlets, address broken bathroom plaster and tiles, fix kitchen caulking, and properly secure various fixtures. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development's August 2022 inspections resulted in both resolved and unresolved violations, with some conditions requiring ongoing attention.

The building's recent history shows all five bedbug reporting periods from 2020 through 2024 have recorded zero infested or re-infested dwelling units, suggesting successful management of this particular pest issue. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in May 2012 resulted in a passing score. While the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug protocols and maintained rodent-free status, the ongoing violations related to safety systems, plumbing, pests, and general maintenance in Apartment 3 represent the most significant current concerns for the building's overall condition and resident safety.
