852 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The three-story, five-unit building at 852 Utica Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Martha Diaz and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and safety concerns over the past few years. Most notably, there are currently four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024 related to lead paint hazard control requirements in apartments 2R and 3F, missing or defective window guards in public areas, and issues with self-closing doors. The building has also faced recurring maintenance issues in recent months, with six complaints filed in November 2024 regarding the intercom system, window frames, plumbing fixtures, wall conditions, and flooring, though inspections found no violations in these cases.
Additional concerns include an active Department of Buildings violation from 2019 for failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, and two similar violations from 2023 regarding low-pressure inspection filings. The property has a documented history of pest issues, with a non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in August 2024, though this was subsequently closed. Previous inspections for rodents in 2011 and 2017 both passed.
The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, with multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their inspections in October 2024. There were also four instances in 2024-2025 where complaints were filed regarding various building systems and conditions, though inspections found no violations in these cases. The most critical ongoing issues appear to be the open lead paint violations and safety concerns related to door hardware and window guards, which affect both resident safety and compliance with city regulations.
