852 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story residential building at 852 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Candy Triunfel, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues since 2021. Most notably, between January-March 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), flooring issues, window frames, and water leaks, though no violations were ultimately issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has faced recurring challenges with unauthorized daycare operations, with two complaints in 2020-2021 leading to Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy and improper door hardware usage. The property has a documented history of construction-related complaints, particularly in 2021-2022, including work without permits and construction beyond approved plans, with some related violations resolved but others leading to an ECB violation for an unauthorized structure extension.

While the building experienced some drainage issues with a window extension in 2020-2021, these violations were resolved without fines. Recent bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024 show no infested or re-infested units, and rodent inspections between 2012 and 2019 mostly resulted in passing grades, though there was one instance of rat activity in 2018. The most recent bedbug report from 2024 indicates no current infestations, and the building's overall maintenance record shows some recurring issues that have been generally addressed through inspections and violation resolutions, though not always without some delays in access or resolution.
