986 Dumont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit building at 986 Dumont Avenue in East New York, owned by Wladimir Blanc, has a history of maintenance issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an ongoing pattern of violations regarding bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive annual violations from 2021 to 2024, all labeled as Class A violations.

These violations indicate failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code. The building also experienced significant safety and maintenance issues in 2018, particularly in apartment 2R, where multiple violations were recorded including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with problems related to a broken entrance lock and damaged plastered surfaces. While these 2018 violations were eventually certified as resolved by July 2018, they highlight previous safety concerns.

The building's more distant history shows generally better conditions, including a passing rodent inspection in 2012, which indicates some level of maintenance compliance during that period. The building, constructed in 1901, is classified as a "New Law Tenement," a designation typically referring to tenement buildings that were constructed or modified to comply with New York City's 1901 Tenement House Law and subsequent housing codes. While the age of the building and its historical context are notable, the most pressing current concerns revolve around the repeated bedbug report violation and the legacy of safety issues from 2018, primarily affecting one specific apartment unit.
