656 East 77th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-unit, three-story building at 656 East 77th Street in Canarsie, owned by Loveday Ejianreh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and regulatory violations in recent years. Most concerning is an active ECB violation from September 2023 for unauthorized electrical work, with an associated penalty of $800 for the installation of new electrical cables and outlets without proper permits, along with a Partial Stop Work Order.

The building has a persistent pattern of heating and hot water problems, with three documented heat/hot water complaints in 2019, 2022, and 2023, though notably no violations were issued for the latter two incidents. A cluster of emergency maintenance issues was recorded in November 2022, including problems with electrical systems, plumbing, flooring, and pest infestations, particularly affecting the first floor apartment which also had multiple violations issued for heating, sanitary conditions, and various maintenance issues including a broken countertop and flooring problems - most of these were subsequently closed.

The property has two open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to annual bedbug reporting requirements, and a 2022 violation regarding access to the building's heating system. A September 2023 complaint about work without a permit led to an immediate inspection and violation notice, which remains active. The building's maintenance history shows a combination of emergency situations and regular maintenance issues, with a notable pattern of heating system problems and electrical concerns, culminating in the recent unresolved compliance matters regarding bedbug reporting and unauthorized electrical work.
