1314 Blake Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 1314 Blake Avenue in East New York, owned by Tatyana Rivas, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2023. Most notably, there was a significant series of heat and hot water complaints in early 2024, with multiple instances reported between December 2023 and May 2024, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) either found no violations or the inspectors were unable to gain access.

More recent concerns have emerged in 2025, including flooring issues (reported February 2025), ceiling problems (also February 2025), and ventilation system complaints (December 2024), none of which could be inspected due to lack of access. Other historical complaints include a July 2023 plumbing issue related to water supply and an August 2023 report of mold, both of which also could not be inspected due to access issues. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of access issues during inspections, with multiple complaints closed because HPD inspectors were unable to gain entry.

While some complaints were categorized as emergency situations (such as the heat and hot water issues), the most recent complaints in 2025 are categorized as non-emergency. It's worth noting that several complaints were filed for the same issues, suggesting possible ongoing problems. The building, constructed in 1950, has been subject to these recurring maintenance challenges over at least the past two years, though specific details about the current state of these issues as of July 2025 cannot be definitively determined from the available data.
