1262 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-story, 3-unit New Law Tenement building at 1262 Blake Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Shekh Farid, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues since 2019. Most concerning are the ongoing Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, suggesting persistent non-compliance with mandatory pest management protocols. Between 2019 and 2021, the property underwent construction work that resulted in multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including unauthorized structural modifications, improper gas piping installations, and safety violations during construction.

These violations incurred penalties totaling $3,875.00, though records indicate these were resolved. The construction-related issues were compounded by the revocation of the original contractor's license, though a new contractor was recorded as of February 2020. The building's inspection history includes three failed rodent inspections between 2012 and 2016, though two subsequent inspections passed, indicating some improvement in pest management.

The DOB has consistently monitored the property, with multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2021 related to construction work under job #321910090, though the pattern of violations suggests ongoing oversight challenges. While some construction-related issues appear to have been addressed, the repeated bedbug reporting violations and historical rodent problems indicate that pest management remains a significant concern. The most recent permit issued in April 2021 suggests active construction or maintenance work was still ongoing at that time. The property has been subject to regular city inspections and enforcement actions, indicating ongoing regulatory oversight.
