I suspect a fungus disease called “anthracnose”.

The first consideration is to not overhead water where the foliage gets wet.

Assuming its a house plant you can also treat it yourself and spray with a ready to use biological fungicide like this:

If it’s a larger tree or it doesn’t respond with the biofungicide, you may need a bigger gun in the form of a systemic chemical fungicide like this:
