1108 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 3-story, 2-family house at 1108 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Kevin Hakimian, has a documented history of heating and maintenance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2023. The most recent incident occurred in December 2023, when the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to a complaint but was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection.

During 2019, there was a significant cluster of heat system failures, with several complaints filed within a short timeframe, though HPD was later informed that the issues had been resolved. The building currently has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations (as of March 2024), including issues with plastered surfaces, smoke detector functionality, carbon monoxide detector functionality, roof leaks, and window glass in Apartments A and B. An active rodent infestation was reported and remains unresolved as of January 2023.

Additional historical concerns include problems with building entry doors in 2019 and cleanliness issues in public areas in 2022, though these were subsequently addressed. The building has undergone some inspections regarding pest control, with mixed results, showing past compliance issues in 2011 and 2012. A permit for work was issued in October 2018, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the records.
