36 Van Dyke Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

The three-story, four-unit building at 36 Van Dyke Street in Red Hook, owned by Julia Deptula, has experienced several significant regulatory events over the past five years. Most notably, between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unauthorized construction work, including building vibrations and structural stability concerns, with inspections revealing unpermitted work including framed partitions, electrical, and plumbing modifications between the first and third floors.

The Department of Buildings issued several Stop Work Orders during this period, with at least one inspection on August 2, 2019, revealing workers continuing unauthorized painting despite the order, leading to additional violations. The building faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2019-2021 related to failure to comply with correction orders regarding unauthorized work and Stop Work Order violations, resulting in penalties totaling $8,125. While most of these violations are listed as resolved with no outstanding penalties, they indicate a pattern of non-compliance with building regulations.

Additional attention was required for exterior maintenance, with a 2018 violation noting issues with cracked and weathered sill stones on the front facade. However, in more recent years, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the units for the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and permit activity from 2020-2021 shows valid permits were eventually issued and processed for work at the property, suggesting improved compliance with building regulations in recent years. The most recent bedbug reporting period shows zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices.
