A Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder

The present time may well be remembered as one of the most tumultuous periods in financial market history. Over the past year, the bursting of the

housing bubble and the resultant credit crisis swelled into an all-out global financial market meltdown that featured the collapse of storied financial

firms, volatile swings in the world’s financial markets and monumental government responses, including the nearly $800 billion economic stimulus

plan signed into law just after period end.

The US economy appeared relatively resilient through the first few months of 2008, when rising food and energy prices fueled inflation fears. Mid-

summer ushered in dramatic changes — inflationary pressure subsided amid a plunge in commodity prices, while economic pressures intensified in

the midst of a rapid deterioration in consumer spending, employment and other key indicators. By year’s end, the National Bureau of Economic

Research affirmed that the United States was in a recession, which officially began in December 2007. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”), after

slashing interest rates aggressively early in the period, resumed that rate-cutting campaign in the fall, with the final reduction in December 2008 bring-

ing the target federal funds rate to a record low range of between zero and 0.25% . Importantly, the central bank pledged that future policy moves to

revive the global economy and financial markets would comprise primarily nontraditional and quantitative easing measures, such as capital injections,

lending programs and government guarantees.

Against this backdrop, US equity markets experienced intense volatility, with the sentiment turning decisively negative toward period end. Declines were

significant and broad-based, with little divergence among large- and small-cap stocks. Non-US stocks posted stronger results early on, but quickly lost

ground as the credit crisis revealed itself to be global in scope and as the worldwide economic slowdown gathered pace. Overall, aggressive monetary

and fiscal policy, combined with the defensiveness of the US, helped domestic equities notch better performance than their non-US counterparts.

In fixed income markets, risk aversion remained the popular theme, leading the Treasury sector to top all other asset classes. The high yield market

was particularly hard hit in this environment, as economic turmoil, combined with frozen credit markets and substantial technical pressures, took a

heavy toll. Meanwhile, the municipal bond market was challenged by a dearth of market participants, lack of liquidity, difficult funding environment and

backlog of new-issue supply, which sent prices lower and yields well above Treasuries. By period end, however, some positive momentum had returned

to the municipal space.

In all, an investor flight to safety prevailed, as evidenced in the six- and 12-month returns of the major benchmark indexes:

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2009 BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (MNE) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with high current income exempt from fed-
eral income taxes and New York State and New York City personal income taxes by investing primarily in a portfolio of municipal obligations, the interest
on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuer, is exempt from federal income taxes and New York State and New York City personal income taxes.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund returned (13.41)% based on market price and (6.67)% based on net asset value (“NAV”). For
the same period, the closed-end Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (6.71)% on a market price basis and
(4.53)% on a NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the dif-
ference between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Fund performance was positively influenced by its average distribution
rate. Negative impacts on performance came from overweights in corporate credits, housing bonds and healthcare bonds, and from an underweight in
tax-backed bonds. The Fund’s overweight in bonds with maturities greater than 15 years detracted overall, but benefited performance toward the end of
the period. Fortunately, management avoided selling these holdings when values were distressed, which would have locked in their underperformance.

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2009 BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc. (MZA) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal and
Arizona income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term,
investment grade municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is exempt from federal and Arizona income taxes.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund returned (25.75)% based on market price and (9.52)% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (7.88)% on a market price basis and (5.61)% on a NAV
basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund moved from a premium to NAV to a discount by period-end, which accounts for the differ-
ence between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. The Fund benefited from its above-average yield, but performance was
hindered by above-average exposure to the longer end of the yield curve, where yields rose. The Fund’s above-average exposure to lower-rated credits
and other spread sectors, such as housing bonds, also hurt performance. The spread between high-grade and lower-rated credits generally widened, as
credit markets adjusted to higher perceived risks and an overall weaker economy. Fund management worked to upgrade credit quality when practical
during this very volatile and illiquid performance period.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

JANUARY 31, 2009

Fund Summary as of January 31, 2009 BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc. (MYC) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal
and California income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-
term municipal obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is exempt from federal and California income taxes.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund returned (15.81)% based on market price and (4.00)% based on NAV. For the same period,
the closed-end Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category posted an average return of (18.01)% on a market price basis and (11.97)% on a
NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference
between performance based on price and performance based on NAV. A neutral duration posture and a relatively high cash equivalent reserve pro-
vided some cushion to the Fund’s NAV, limiting the volatility stemming from rising tax-exempt long-term investment rates. The Fund also benefited
from a marginal degree of credit spread tightening. Management’s strategy is to pursue a balanced approach to returns by improving current yield
and committing cash reserves opportunistically. Credit fundamentals warrant close monitoring in the current weak economic environment, and
management will improve quality as opportunities arise.

Investment Objective

BlackRock MuniYield Investment Fund (MYF) (the “Fund”) seeks to provide shareholders with as high a level of current income exempt from federal
income taxes as is consistent with its investment policies and prudent investment management by investing primarily in a portfolio of long-term municipal
obligations, the interest on which, in the opinion of bond counsel to the issuers, is exempt from federal income taxes and which enables shares of the
Fund to be exempt from Florida intangible personal property taxes.

Effective September 16, 2008, BlackRock MuniYield Florida Fund was renamed BlackRock MuniYield Investment Fund.

Performance

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Fund returned (9.77)% based on market price and (8.03)% based on NAV. For the same period, the
closed-end Lipper General Municipal Debt Funds (Leveraged) category posted an average return of (12.07)% on a market price basis and (12.78)% on a
NAV basis. All returns reflect reinvestment of dividends. The Fund’s discount to NAV, which widened during the period, accounts for the difference between
performance based on price and performance based on NAV. Sector allocation played an important role in determining how the Fund performed during
the reporting period. The Fund’s significant overweight in pre-refunded bonds in the one- to five-year maturity range aided comparative results, as the yield
curve steepened and short- and intermediate-maturity issues outperformed. Overweighted holdings in the education and transportation sectors also
enhanced the Fund’s performance.

The Benefits and Risks of Leveraging

The Funds may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and NAV of
its Common Shares. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all
interest rate environments.

To leverage, certain Funds issue Preferred Shares, which pay dividends at
prevailing short-term interest rates, and invest the proceeds in long-term
municipal bonds. In general, the concept of leveraging is based on the
premise that the cost of assets to be obtained from leverage will be
based on short-term interest rates, which normally will be lower than
the income earned by each Fund on its longer-term portfolio invest-
ments. To the extent that the total assets of the Fund (including the
assets obtained from leverage) are invested in higher-yielding portfolio
investments, the Fund’s Common Shareholders will benefit from the
incremental yield.

To illustrate these concepts, assume a Fund’s Common Shares capital-
ization is $100 million and it issues Preferred Shares for an additional
$50 million, creating a total value of $150 million available for invest-
ment in long-term municipal bonds. If prevailing short-term interest
rates are 3% and long-term interest rates are 6%, the yield curve has a
strongly positive slope. In this case, the Fund pays dividends on the $50
million of Preferred Shares based on the lower short-term interest rates.
At the same time, the Fund’s total portfolio of $150 million earns the
income based on long-term interest rates. In this case, the dividends
paid to Preferred Shareholders are significantly lower than the income
earned on the Fund’s long-term investments, and therefore the Common
Shareholders are the beneficiaries of the incremental yield.

Conversely, if prevailing short-term interest rates rise above long-term
interest rates of 6%, the yield curve has a negative slope. In this case,
the Fund pays dividends on the higher short-term interest rates whereas
the Fund’s total portfolio earns income based on lower long-term interest
rates. If short-term interest rates rise, narrowing the differential between
short-term and long-term interest rates, the incremental yield pickup on
the Common Shares will be reduced or eliminated completely.

Furthermore, the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments generally varies
inversely with the direction of long-term interest rates, although other
factors can influence the value of portfolio investments. In contrast, the
redemption value of the Fund’s Preferred Shares does not fluctuate in
relation to interest rates. As a result, changes in interest rates can influ-
ence the Fund’s NAV positively or negatively in addition to the impact on
Fund performance from leverage from Preferred Shares discussed above.
Certain Funds may also, from time to time, leverage its assets through
the use of tender option bond (“TOB”) programs, as described in Note 1
of the Notes to Financial Statements. TOB investments generally will pro-
vide the Funds with economic benefits in periods of declining short-term

interest rates, but expose the Funds to risks during periods of rising
short-term interest rates similar to those associated with Preferred
Shares issued by the Funds, as described above. Additionally, fluctua-
tions in the market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB trust
may adversely affect the Funds’ NAV per share.

The use of leverage may enhance opportunities for increased returns to
the Funds and Common Shareholders, but as described above, it also
creates risks as short- or long-term interest rates fluctuate. Leverage also
will generally cause greater changes in a Funds’ NAV, market price and
dividend rate than a comparable portfolio without leverage. If the income
derived from securities purchased with assets received from leverage
exceeds the cost of leverage, the Funds’ net income will be greater than
if leverage had not been used. Conversely, if the income from the securi-
ties purchased is not sufficient to cover the cost of leverage, the Funds’
net income will be less than if leverage had not been used, and there-
fore the amount available for distribution to shareholders will be
reduced. The Funds may be required to sell portfolio securities at in-
opportune times or below fair market values in order to comply with
regulatory requirements applicable to the use of leverage or as required
by the terms of leverage instruments, which may cause the Fund to incur
losses. The use of leverage may limit the Funds’ ability to invest in certain
types of securities or use certain types of hedging strategies, such as
in the case of certain restrictions imposed by ratings agencies that rate
preferred shares issued by a Fund. The Funds will incur expenses in con-
nection with the use of leverage, all of which are borne by the holders of
the Common Shares and may reduce returns on the Common Shares.

Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Funds are permitted to
issue Preferred Shares in an amount of up to 50% of its total managed
assets at the time of issuance. Under normal circumstances, each Fund
anticipates that the total economic leverage from Preferred Shares and
TOBs will not exceed 50% of its total managed assets at the time such
leverage is incurred. As of January 31, 2009, the following Funds had
economic leverage from Preferred Shares and TOBs as a percentage of
their total managed assets as follows:

		Percent of
		Leverage
BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc		38%
BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc		44%
BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc		41%

•Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use
of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments, which are as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
securities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund's own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

•Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use
of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments, which are as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an in-
dication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation		Investments in
Inputs		Securities
		Assets
Level 1		$ 7,086,121

•Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use
of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments, which are as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an in-
dication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation		Investments in
Inputs		Securities
		Assets
Level 1		$ 15,502,136
Level 2		445,121,406

•Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use
of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments, which are as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical securities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an in-
dication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation		Investments in
Inputs		Securities
		Assets
Level 1		$ 13,315,907
Level 2		$ 262,171,929
Level 3		—

•Effective August 1, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”
(“FAS 157”). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a frame-
work for measuring fair values and requires additional disclosures about the use
of fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the fair value
of investments, which are as follows:
•Level 1 — price quotations in active markets/exchanges for identical
securities
•Level 2 — other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than
quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest
rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks,
and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs)
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the
circumstance, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the
Fund’s own assumption used in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For information
about the Fund’s policy regarding valuation of investments and other significant
accounting policies, please refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements.
The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2009 in deter-
mining the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments:

Valuation		Investments in
Inputs		Securities
		Assets
Level 1		$ 5,980,217
Level 2		293,221,298

42 SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2009

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

BlackRock Muni New York Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc. (“Muni New
York”), BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund, Inc. (“MuniYield Arizona”),
BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc. (“MuniYield California”),
BlackRock MuniYield Investment Fund (formerly BlackRock MuniYield
Florida Fund) (“MuniYield Investment”) and BlackRock MuniYield New
Jersey Fund, Inc. (“MuniYield New Jersey”) (the “Funds” or individually
as the “Fund”), are registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as non-diversified, closed-end
management investment companies. BlackRock Muni New York
Intermediate Duration Fund, Inc., BlackRock MuniYield Arizona Fund,
Inc., BlackRock MuniYield California Fund, Inc. and BlackRock MuniYield
New Jersey Fund, Inc. are organized as Maryland corporations. BlackRock
MuniYield Investment Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which may require the use of management accruals and estimates.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. The Funds determine,
and make available for publication, the net asset values of their Common
Shares on a daily basis.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
the Funds:

Valuation of Investments: Municipal investments (including commitments
to purchase such investments on a “when-issued” basis) are valued on
the basis of prices provided by dealers or pricing services selected under
the supervision of each Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”).
In determining the value of a particular investment, pricing services may
use certain information with respect to transactions in such investments,
quotations from bond dealers, pricing matrixes, market transactions in
comparable investments and information with respect to various relation-
ships between investments. Short-term securities with maturities less
than 60 days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair
value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net
asset value each business day.

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in
a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of
the market value of such investment, the investment will be valued by
a method approved by each Fund’s Board as reflecting fair value (“Fair
Value Assets”). When determining the price for Fair Value Assets, the
investment advisor and/or sub-advisor seeks to determine the price that
each Fund might reasonably expect to receive from the current sale of
that asset in an arm’s length transaction. Fair value determinations shall
be based upon all available factors that the investment advisor and/or
sub-advisor deems relevant. The pricing of all Fair Value Assets is subse-
quently reported to the Board or a committee thereof.

Forward Commitments and When-issued Delayed Delivery Securities:
The Funds may purchase securities on a when-issued basis and may
purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. Settlement
of such transactions normally occurs within a month or more after the
purchase or sale commitment is made. The Funds may purchase securi-
ties under such conditions only with the intention of actually acquiring
them, but may enter into a separate agreement to sell the securities
before the settlement date. Since the value of securities purchased may
fluctuate prior to settlement, the Funds may be required to pay more at
settlement than the security is worth. In addition, the purchaser is not
entitled to any of the interest earned prior to settlement. When purchas-
ing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights
and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and
yield fluctuations.

Municipal Bonds Transferred to Tender Option Bond Trusts: The Funds
leverage their assets through the use of tender option bond trusts
(“TOBs”). A TOB is established by a third party sponsor forming a special
purpose entity, into which one or more funds, or an agent on behalf of
the Funds, transfers municipal bonds. Other funds managed by the
investment advisor may also contribute municipal bonds to a TOB into
which the Trust has contributed bonds. A TOB typically issues
two classes of beneficial interests: short-term floating rate certificates,
which are sold to third party investors, and residual certificates (“TOB
Residuals”), which are generally issued to the participating Funds that
made the transfer. The TOB Residuals held by the Funds include the
right of the Funds (1) to cause the holders of a proportional share
of the floating rate certificates to tender their certificates at par, and
(2) to transfer, within seven days, a corresponding share of the munici-
pal bonds from the TOB to the Funds. The TOB may also be terminated
without the consent of the Funds upon the occurrence of certain events
as defined in the TOB agreements. Such termination events may include
the bankruptcy or default of the municipal bonds, a substantial down
grade in credit quality of the municipal bonds, the inability of the TOB
to obtain quarterly or annual renewal of the liquidity support agreement,
a substantial decline in market value of the municipal bonds or the
inability to remarket the short-term floating rate certificates to third
party investors.

The cash received by the TOB from the sale of the short-term floating
rate certificates, less transaction expenses, is paid to the Fund, which
typically invests the cash in additional municipal bonds. The Funds’
transfer of the municipal bonds to a TOB is accounted for as a secured
borrowing, therefore the municipal bonds deposited into a TOB are pre-
sented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the proceeds from
the issuance of the short-term floating rate certificates are shown on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities as trust certificates.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2009 43

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Interest income from the underlying security is recorded by the Funds
on an accrual basis. Interest expense incurred on the secured borrowing
and other expenses related to remarketing, administration and trustee
services to a TOB are reported as expenses of the Funds. The floating
rate certificates have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their
holders have the option to tender certificates to the TOB for redemption
at par at each reset date. At January 31, 2009, the aggregate value of
the underlying municipal securities transferred to TOBs, the related liabil-
ity for trust certificates and the range of interest rates on the liability for
trust certificates were as follows:

			Underlying
			Municipal
	Liability for	Range of	Securities
	Trust	Interest	Transferred
	Certificates	Rates	to TOBs
Muni New York	$ 1,379,101	2.275%	$ 1,888,836
		1.852% –
MuniYield California	$63,090,662	2.945%	$114,391,743
		0.540% –
MuniYield Investment	$18,260,287	3.174%	$ 35,884,710
		2.412% –
MuniYield New Jersey	$ 7,645,000	3.351%	$ 13,058,636

Financial transactions executed through TOBs generally will underperform
the market for fixed rate municipal bonds when interest rates rise, but
tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates
decline or remain relatively stable. Should short-term interest rates rise,
the Trusts’ investment in TOBs may adversely affect the Funds’ investment
income and distributions to shareholders. Also, fluctuations in the
market value of municipal bonds deposited into the TOB may adversely
affect the Funds’ net asset value per share.

Zero-Coupon Bonds: The Funds may invest in zero-coupon bonds, which
are normally issued at a significant discount from face value and do not
provide for periodic interest payments. Zero-coupon bonds may experi-
ence greater volatility in market value than similar maturity debt obliga-
tions which provide for regular interest payments.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment trans-
actions are recorded on the dates the transactions are entered into
(the trade dates). Realized gains and losses on security transactions
are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is
recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Interest income is recognized on
the accrual method. Each Fund amortizes all premiums and discounts
on debt securities.

Dividends and Distributions: Dividends from net investment income
are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of capital gains are record-
ed on the ex-dividend dates. Dividends and distributions to
holders of Preferred Shares are accrued and determined as described
in Note 5.

Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements
of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment compa-
nies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its share-
holders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

Each Fund files US federal and various state and local tax returns.
No income tax returns are currently under examination. The statute of
limitations on the Funds’ US federal tax returns remains open for the
four years ended December 31, 2008. The statutes of limitations on the
Funds’ state and local tax returns may remain open for an additional
year depending upon the jurisdiction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2008, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities — an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133” (“FAS 161”), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve
financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced
disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity
uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative
instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
FAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.The impact
on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently
being assessed.

Deferred Compensation and BlackRock Closed-End Share Equivalent
Investment Plan: Under the deferred compensation plan approved
by each of the Funds’ Board, non-interested Directors/Trustees
(“Independent Trustees”) defer a portion of their annual complex-
wide compensation. Deferred amounts earn an approximate return
as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in common
shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the
Independent Trustees. This has approximately the same economic
effect for the Independent Trustees as if the Independent Trustees
had invested the deferred amounts directly in other certain BlackRock
Closed-End Funds.

The deferred compensation plan is not funded and obligations there-
under represent general unsecured claims against the general assets
of each Fund. Each Fund may, however, elect to invest in common
shares of other certain BlackRock Closed-End Funds selected by the
Independent Trustees in order to match its deferred compensation
obligations. Investments to cover each Fund’s deferred compensation
liability are included in other assets on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities. Dividends and distributions from the BlackRock Closed-End
Fund investments under the plan are included in income — affiliated on
the Statements of Operations.

Other: Expenses directly related to each Fund are charged to that
Fund. Other operating expenses shared by several funds are pro-rated
among those funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appro-
priate methods.

2. Investment Advisory Agreement and Other Transactions
with Affiliates:

Each Fund entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with
BlackRock Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly owned
subsidiary of BlackRock, Inc., to provide investment advisory and
administration services. As of January 31, 2009, The PNC Financial
Services Group, Inc. (“PNC”) and Bank of America Corporation (“BAC”)
are the largest stockholders of BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BAC
became a stockholder of BlackRock following its acquisition of Merrill
Lynch & Co., Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on January 1, 2009. Prior to that
date, both PNC and Merrill Lynch were considered affiliates of the Funds
under the 1940 Act. Subsequent to the acquisition, PNC remains an
affiliate, but due to the restructuring of Merrill Lynch’s ownership interest
of BlackRock, BAC is not deemed to be an affiliate under the 1940 Act.

The Advisor is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio
and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain
other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. For such
services, Muni New York pays the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual
rate of 0.55%, and MuniYield Arizona, MuniYield California, MuniYield
Investment and MuniYield New Jersey pay 0.50% of each Fund’s average
daily net assets. Average daily net assets is the average daily value of
each Fund’s total assets minus the sum of its accrued liabilities.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee during
the first seven years of Muni New York’s operations ending July 2010,
as follows:

		Fee Waiver
		(As a Percentage
		of Average Daily
		Net Assets)
Years 1 through 5		0.15%
Year 6		0.10%
Year 7		0.05%
Year 8 and thereafter		0.00%

The Advisor has not agreed to waive any portion of its fee beyond
July 31, 2010.

Such waivers are included in fees waived by advisor on the Statements
of Operations:

		Fees Waived
		by Advisor
Muni New York		$41,862

The Advisor has agreed to waive its advisory fees by the amount of
investment advisory fees each Fund pays to the Advisor indirectly
through its investment in affiliated money market funds for a portion of
the period. This amount is shown on the Statements of Operations as
fees waived by advisor. For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the
amounts were as follows:

		Amount
Muni New York		$ 8,625
MuniYield Arizona		$ 9,534
MuniYield California		$ 27,397
MuniYield Investment		$ 15,446
MuniYield New Jersey		$ 13,463

The Advisor has entered into separate sub-advisory agreements with
BlackRock Investment Management, LLC (“BIM”), an affiliate of the
Advisor, with respect to each Fund, under which the Advisor pays BIM for
services it provides, a monthly fee that is a percentage of the investment
advisory fee paid the Funds to the Advisor.

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Funds reimbursed the
Advisor for certain accounting services in the following amounts, which
are included in accounting services in the Statements of Operations:

		Amount
Muni New York		$ 739
MuniYield Arizona		$ 859
MuniYield California		$3,981
MuniYield Investment		$2,395
MuniYield New Jersey		$3,179

Pursuant to the terms of the custody agreement, custodian fees may
be reduced by amounts calculated on uninvested cash balances.

Certain officers and/or directors/trustees of the Funds are officers
and/or directors of BlackRock, Inc. or its affiliates. The Funds
reimburse the Advisor for compensation paid to the Funds’ Chief
Compliance Officer.

3. Investments:

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities, for
the year ended January 31, 2009 were as follows:

	Purchases	Sales
Muni New York	$7,366,840	$12,082,981
MuniYield Arizona	$17,720,604	$26,050,883
MuniYield California	$53,808,831	$79,609,143
MuniYield Investment	$44,691,680	$64,930,676
MuniYield New Jersey	$19,699,485	$31,643,424

4. Concentration, Market and Credit Risk:

Each Fund invests a substantial amount of its assets in issuers located
in a single state or limited number of states. Please see each Fund’s
Schedule of Investments for concentrations in specific states.

Many municipalities insure repayment of their bonds, which reduces
the risk of loss due to issuer default. The market value of these bonds
may fluctuate for other reasons, including market perception of the value
of such insurance, and there is no guarantee that the insurer will meet
its obligation.

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT JANUARY 31, 2009 45

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities and
enter into transactions where risks exist due to fluctuations in the market
(market risk) or failure of the issuer of a security to meet all its obliga-
tions (credit risk). The value of securities held by the Funds may decline
in response to certain events, including those directly involving the
issuers whose securities are owned by the Funds; conditions affecting
the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global
political, social or economic instability; and currency and interest rate
and price fluctuations. Similar to credit risk, the Funds may be exposed
to counterparty risk, or the risk that an entity with which the Funds have
unsettled or open transactions may default. Financial assets, which
potentially expose the Funds to credit and counterparty risks, consist
principally of investments and cash due from counterparties. The extent
of the Funds’ exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to
these financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in each
Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Capital Share Transactions:

Each Fund is authorized to issue 200,000,000 (MuniYield Investment
is authorized to issue an unlimited amount) of shares, including
Preferred Shares, par value $0.10 per share, all of which were initially
classified as Common Shares. Each Board is authorized, however, to
reclassify any unissued shares of Common Shares without approval of
Common Shareholders.

whole or in part, on any dividend payment date at its liquidation prefer-
ence per share plus any accumulated or unpaid dividends whether or
not declared. The Preferred Shares are also subject to mandatory
redemption at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated or
unpaid dividends, whether or not declared, if certain requirements relat-
ing to the composition of the assets and liabilities of a Fund, as set forth
in the Fund’s Articles Supplementary or Certificate of Designation as
applicable, are not satisfied.

The holders of Preferred Shares have voting rights equal to the holders
of Common Shares (one vote per share) and will vote together with
holders of Common Shares (one vote per share) as a single class.
However, the holders of Preferred Shares, voting as a separate class,
are also entitled to elect two Directors/Trustees for each Fund. In addi-
tion, the 1940 Act requires that along with approval by shareholders that
might otherwise be required, the approval of the holders of a majority of
any outstanding Preferred Shares, voting separately as a class would be
required to (a) adopt any plan of reorganization that would adversely
affect the Preferred Shares, (b) change a Fund’s subclassification as a
closed-end investment company or change its fundamental investment
restrictions or (c) change its business so as to cease to be an invest-
ment company.

The Funds had the following series of Preferred Shares outstanding and
effective yields at January 31, 2009:

	Muni	MuniYield	MuniYield
	New York	Arizona	California
Series A	—	0.746%¹	0.655%¹
Series B	—	0.655%¹	0.746%¹
Series C	—	1.695%²	0.640%¹
Series D	—	—	1.695%²
Series F7	1.695%²	—	—

		MuniYield	MuniYield
		Investment	New Jersey
Series A¹		0.746%	1.751%
Series B¹		0.716%	0.746%
Series C²		1.765%	0.640%

¹The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher
of 110% of the AA commercial paper rate or 110% of 90% of the Kenny S&P
30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.
²The maximum applicable rate on this series of Preferred Shares is the higher
of 110% plus or times (i) the Telerate/BAA LIBOR or (ii) 90% of the Kenny S&P
30-day High Grade Index rate divided by 1.00 minus the marginal tax rate.

All series of the Funds had a reset frequency of seven days except
MuniYield California’s Series A and Series C, which have a reset fre-
quency of 28 days. Dividends on seven-day Preferred Shares are cumu-
lative at a rate that is reset every seven days based on the results of
an auction. Dividends on 28 day Preferred Shares are cumulative at
a rate that is reset every 28 days based on the results of an auction.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

If the Preferred Shares fail to clear the auction on an auction date, the
affected Fund is required to pay the maximum applicable rate on the
Preferred Shares to holders of such shares for each successive dividend
period until such time as the shares are successfully auctioned. The
maximum applicable rate on the Preferred Shares is footnoted as appli-
cable on the above chart. During the six months ended January 31,
2009, the Preferred Shares of the Funds were not successfully auctioned.
The low, high and average dividend rates on the Preferred Shares of each
Fund for the six months ended January 31, 2009 were as follows:

Muni New York
	Low	High	Average
Series F7	1.64%	11.76%	4.192%

MuniYield Arizona
	Low	High	Average
Series A	0.64%	12.57%	3.12%
Series B	0.59%	10.21%	3.10%
Series C	1.64%	11.76%	3.91%

MuniYield California
	Low	High	Average
Series A	0.655%	8.651%	3.219%
Series B	0.640%	12.565%	3.113%
Series C	0.640%	12.565%	3.837%
Series D	1.640%	10.377%	3.914%

MuniYield Investment
	Low	High	Average
Series A	0.640%	12.565%	3.266%
Series B	0.594%	12.261%	3.099%
Series C	1.640%	11.415%	3.889%

MuniYield New Jersey
	Low	High	Average
Series A	0.64%	12.565%	3.08%
Series B	0.594%	11.347%	3.06%
Series C	1.640%	10.377%	3.91%

For the six months ended January 31, 2009, the Preferred Shares of
each Fund failed to clear any auctions. As a result, the Preferred Shares
dividend rates were reset to the maximum applicable rate, which ranged
from 0.594% to 12.565% . A failed auction is not an event of default for
the Funds but has a negative impact on the liquidity of Preferred Shares.
A failed auction occurs when there are more sellers of a fund’s auction
rate preferred shares than buyers. It is impossible to predict how long
this imbalance will last. A successful auction for each Fund’s Preferred
Shares may not occur for some time, if ever, and even if liquidity does
resume, Preferred Shares may not have the ability to sell the Preferred
Shares at its liquidation preference.

A Fund may not declare dividends or make other distributions on
Common Shares or purchase any such shares if, at the time of the
declaration, distribution or purchase, asset coverage with respect to
the outstanding Preferred Shares is less than 200%.

Prior to December 22, 2008, the Fund paid commissions to certain
broker-dealers at the end of each auction at an annual rate of 0.25%,
calculated on the aggregated principal amount. As of December 22,
2008, commissions paid to broker-dealers on preferred shares that
experienced a failed auction were reduced to 0.15% on the aggregate
principal amount. The Funds will continue to pay commissions of 0.25%
on the aggregate principal amount of all shares that successfully clear
their auctions. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated
(“MLPF&S”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merrill Lynch, earned com-
missions for the period August 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008
as follows:

		Commissions
Muni New York		$ 62,802
MuniYield Arizona		$ 59,616
MuniYield California		$ 116,901
MuniYield Investment		$ 139,630
MuniYield New Jersey		$ 139,715

Subsequent to that date, neither MLPF&S or Merrill Lynch are consid-
ered affiliates of the Funds.

On June 4, 2008 and June 17, 2008, the following Funds announced
redemptions of Preferred Shares at a price of $25,000 per share plus
any accrued and unpaid dividends through the redemption date.

Additional Information

Dividend Policy

The Funds’ dividend policy is to distribute all or a portion of their net
investment income to its shareholders on a monthly basis. In order to
provide shareholders with a more stable level of dividend distributions,
the Funds may at times pay out less than the entire amount of net
investment income earned in any particular month and may at times
in any particular month pay out such accumulated but undistributed
income in addition to net investment income earned in that month.

As a result, the dividends paid by the Funds for any particular month
may be more or less than the amount of net investment income earned
by the Funds during such month. The Funds’ current accumulated
but undistributed net investment income, if any, is disclosed in the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities, which comprises part of the
financial information included in this report.

General Information

The Funds will mail only one copy of shareholder documents, including
annual and semi-annual reports and proxy statements, to shareholders
with multiple accounts at the same address. This practice is commonly
called “householding” and it is intended to reduce expenses and elimi-
nate duplicate mailings of shareholder documents. Mailings of your
shareholder documents may be householded indefinitely unless you
instruct us otherwise. If you do not want the mailing of these documents

to be combined with those for other members of your household, please
contact the Funds at (800) 441-7762.

Quarterly performance, semi-annual and annual reports and other
information regarding the Funds may be found on BlackRock’s website,
which can be accessed at http://www.blackrock.com. This reference
to BlackRock’s website is intended to allow investors public access to
information regarding the Funds and does not, and is not intended to,

Board Approvals

On September 12, 2008, the Board of Directors of BlackRock MuniYield
Florida Fund voted unanimously to change a non-fundamental invest-
ment policy of the Fund, and to rename the Fund “BlackRock MuniYield
Investment Fund.” The Fund’s previous non-fundamental investment
policy required the Fund, under normal market conditions, to invest at
least 80% of its assets in Florida municipal bonds and 100% in munici-
pal bonds rated investment grade at time of investment. Due to the
repeal of the Florida Intangible Personal Property Tax as of January
2007, the Board has approved an amended policy allowing the Fund
flexibility to invest in municipal obligations regardless of geographic
location. The Fund’s new investment policy is, under normal market
conditions, to invest 100% of its assets in municipal bonds rated invest-
ment grade at time of investment. The approved changes will not alter
the Fund’s investment objective.

Under current market conditions, the Advisor anticipates that it will
gradually reposition the Fund’s portfolio over time and that during such
period the Fund may continue to hold a substantial portion of its assets
in Florida municipal bonds. At this time, it is uncertain how long the

repositioning may take, and the Fund will continue to be subject to
risks associated with investing a substantial portion of its assets in
Florida municipal bonds until the repositioning is complete.

The Advisor and the Board believe the amended policy will allow the
Advisor to better manage the Fund’s portfolio in the best interests of
Fund shareholders and to better meet the Fund’s investment objective.

Effective September 13, 2008, following approval by the Funds’ Board
and the applicable ratings agencies, the Board amended the terms of
the Funds’ Articles Supplementary in order to allow the Funds to enter
into TOB transactions, the proceeds of which were used to redeem a
portion of the Funds’ Preferred Shares. Accordingly, the definition of
Inverse Floaters was amended to incorporate the Funds’ permissible
ratio of floating rate instruments into inverse floating rate instruments.
Additionally, confirming changes and certain formula modifications con-
cerning inverse floaters were made to the definitions of Moody’s Discount
Factor and S&P Discount Factor, as applicable, to integrate the Funds’
investments in TOBs into applicable calculations.

This report is transmitted to shareholders only. It is not a prospec-
tus. Past performance results shown in this report should not be
considered a representation of future performance. The Funds have
leveraged their Common Shares which creates risks for Common
Shareholders, including the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset
value and market price of the Common Shares, and the risk that
fluctuations in the short-term dividend rates of the Preferred Shares,
currently set at the maximum reset rate as a result of failed auctions,
may affect the yield to Common Shareholders. Statements and other
information herein are as dated and are subject to change.
