1253 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, three-unit building at 1253 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Marina Blake, was constructed in 1920 and has undergone conversion to a Class A building status. The property has experienced recurring bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with violations documented in 2021, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, each related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations have all been marked as "Close" in the system. The building's bedbug infestation history shows a concerning pattern, with the most recent filing covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 reporting no infested units, while the previous period (2022-2023) also showed no infested units. However, a significant infestation occurred during the 2021-2022 reporting period, affecting all three dwelling units, though interestingly, there were no recorded eradications.

Earlier filings from 2020-2021 and 2019-2020 reported no infestations. In terms of rodent inspections, the building was inspected in April 2012 and passed the initial inspection, with no further rodent-related issues noted in subsequent years. While the absence of recent infestations (as of the latest report) is encouraging, the building's history of violations related to bedbug reporting and the previous widespread infestation suggests ongoing management challenges related to pest control compliance.
