946 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, two-family house at 946 Dumont Avenue in East New York, owned by Ismene Speliotis, has had several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in early 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the third-floor apartment, which resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building currently has unresolved violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB) for failing to file external low-pressure inspection reports for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023. A previous violation for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report was dismissed in 2020, though it appears there are ongoing concerns with boiler maintenance compliance. The building has a relatively clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2020 to 2024.

Between 2020 and 2021, there were several permits issued for work on the property, including plumbing and electrical permits, suggesting some maintenance and improvements were made during this period. A notable 2005 violation related to securing accessible openings was certified as resolved in 2018. While the building's age (constructed in 1910) and some of its maintenance history may warrant attention, it's important to note that many of the most recent violations relate to filing requirements rather than direct safety or habitability concerns, and there have been no reported bedbug issues for several years.
