984 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit building at 984 Dumont Avenue in East New York, owned by Yossi Yaacov, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1930, with particular emphasis on heating and pest concerns. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water complaints in recent years, with the most recent incident in June 2023 involving temporary loss of services that was reportedly restored by HPD.

A concerning pattern of rodent-related issues has persisted since 2019, with inspections in 2019 and 2022 showing the building has "Failed for Other Reasons" in rodent conditions. The property has undergone several building-wide inspections and repairs, including multiple heating system complaints in early 2019 and various maintenance violations related to fire safety systems and roof leaks, particularly noted in March 2019. Recent administrative records show improved pest management, with the building's bedbug reporting for the past three years (2021-2024) indicating zero infested dwelling units.

While housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2019, including issues with self-closing doors, fire retardant materials, and public hall maintenance, these were subsequently resolved according to inspection records. The building has demonstrated some compliance with regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the issuance of plumbing and electrical work permits in mid-2019. The property appears to have maintained more consistent reporting of conditions in recent years compared to previous inspection cycles, though periodic issues with heating and pest conditions suggest ongoing challenges with infrastructure maintenance.
