253 45th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220

This two-family house located at 253 45th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Violetta Nathan, is a two-story, 1920-built residence with a documented history of both maintenance permits and resident concerns. Most recently, in early 2024, there were two complaints regarding work done without proper permits in December 2023 and January 2024, though one of these was closed without violations being found.

The building experienced some concerning events in 2019, when inspectors were unable to gain access following complaints about building stability and potential falling debris. Fortunately, a rodent inspection conducted in March 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

The property has demonstrated reasonable compliance through the issuance of several work permits between 2020 and 2021, with multiple permits issued for exterior work (EW), suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement projects were being undertaken during this period. The records indicate four separate exterior work permits were issued: two in March and October 2020, one in August 2021, and another in August 2021, although there is some duplication in permit sequence numbers that may warrant further clarification. The most recent complaints regarding unpermitted work in late 2023 and early 2024 suggest some possible ongoing issues with unauthorized modifications, though these were not substantiated during inspections.
