812 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story residential building at 812 Dumont Avenue in East New York, owned by Patrice Sawadogo, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 2004. The most pressing current concerns involve four active violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements (dating back to 2020) and three violations regarding the posting of safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and housing information guides. The building has a documented history of residents facing unsanitary conditions, particularly in July 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding pests and mold, though not all resulted in violations.

A 2019 incident involving ceiling paint/plaster and a 2019 plumbing issue with steam pipes/riser required emergency responses and resulted in violations. More recent building systems have been the subject of inspection, with a gas utility complaint logged in 2019 that was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The property has undergone several inspections and permits, with a rodent inspection passing in 2019.

In 2020, the building received a permit related to electrical work (permit sequence number 01). Security and safety-related concerns have been addressed through various violations, including requirements for self-closing doors at entrance and public hall areas, though some of these violations have been closed. The building's documented history shows a recurring pattern of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly during 2020, with fewer documented problems in subsequent years, though many violations remain open as of 2025.
