934 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 934 Belmont Avenue, owned by Trevor Duncan, is a 1930 construction located in East New York. The property has experienced a series of significant maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2025 when multiple simultaneous complaints were filed between February 4-6, including electrical problems (lighting issues and a power outage), heating/hot water problems, and water-related concerns (slow leaks in plumbing systems and sink issues).

These led to at least two violations being issued, though inspections on some complaints resulted in no violations being found. The building has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from March 2023 that require attention: one for missing bedbug reports, one regarding an abandoned refrigerator in the public hall, and another related to a broken wood rail and balustrade at the first-story stairs.

In 2023, the first-floor apartment (1F) showed multiple concerning conditions including rodent (mouse and cockroach) infestations, water leak issues, door self-closing mechanism problems, and window guard deficiencies, all of which were documented as Class C violations requiring urgent attention. While there have been inspections conducted in the past that resulted in no violations (such as those from 2022 for various ceiling and water-related complaints), the persistence and frequency of maintenance issues, particularly in 2023-2025, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent documented rodent inspection from 2012 showed a "Passed" status, though this is significantly outdated given the subsequent reported infestations.
