993 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-family house at 993 Dumont Avenue in East New York, managed by Dumont Management Holdings, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since late 2022. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water problems, with eight documented complaints between 2022 and 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

A concerning pattern of maintenance issues emerged in late 2022 when Apartment 1 experienced problems with pests, mold, and heating systems, leading to violations for inadequate heat supply and pest infestations. The building's cellar area has been a significant area of concern, with multiple complaints regarding unauthorized conversions resulting in illegal living spaces, lack of proper egress, and unauthorized plumbing work. These issues culminated in February 2023 with Environmental Control Board violations relating to illegal bedroom constructions, though some associated fines were later resolved.

The property has also faced plumbing issues, including a water supply problem in mid-2023, and in March 2024, another heat and hot water complaint was filed. While many complaints were addressed and closed, the frequency of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's documented history of unauthorized modifications and occupancy violations, particularly regarding the cellar space, raises concerns about compliance with building codes and safety standards.
