1079 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

The two-story building at 1079 East 34th Street in Flatlands, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Cicely Cruz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and violations over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around pest control compliance. Both 2023 and 2024 inspections resulted in Class A violations for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though these violations are administrative in nature.

The property has a concerning history of boiler-related problems, with multiple active violations from 2020 showing serious safety concerns including missing safety valves, low water cut-off systems, and flue pipe issues, for which penalties totaling $3,125, $6,250, and $625 were imposed. An open violation from November 2022 involves an inoperable boiler room door/cleanout door, with a penalty of $625.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the building received violations for operating construction activities in violation of executive orders, though this specific violation was resolved without penalties. Earlier, in late 2019, there was a boiler inspection report filing violation that was eventually dismissed in early 2020 after evidence of compliance was presented. While there have been ongoing violations requiring attention, the property has maintained active permit filings, with at least one permit issued in early 2020.
