1134 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 1134 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Ismene Speliotis and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade. Most notably, in early 2018, the building faced multiple heating system problems, including an emergency complaint about inadequate heat/hot water for the entire building, defective radiator air valves throughout one apartment, and a chimney base issue in the boiler room. Additionally, a window frame defect was reported in an apartment on the first floor.

The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent report (April 2024) showing zero infested units between November 2022 and October 2023, and the three previous annual inspections (2021-2023) had similar clean records. However, there is an open housing maintenance violation from 2018 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and the building's rodent inspection history from 2012-2015 shows mixed results, with several initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons" and two inspections passing compliance. The building's most recent inspection records as of 2024 show primarily administrative violations, with an open violation from 2018 regarding bedbug reporting requirements and three similar violations in 2021-2024.

Though there was an August 2018 inspection related to a vacant building complaint, no violations were found. The heating system issues from 2018 appear to have been addressed, as there have been no subsequent heating complaints on record. While the bedbug and rodent inspection results have fluctuated over the years, the recent consistent compliance with bedbug reporting and the absence of major recent violations suggest improved maintenance practices in recent years.
