907 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The four-story, 1908 mixed-use building at 907 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, currently owned by Stmarks907 LLC, has experienced several notable incidents and compliance issues over its recent history. Most concerning is an active complaint as of April 2025 regarding an illegal conversion, with an inspection conducted in June 2025 that warranted further investigation. In 2020, the building underwent significant scrutiny with multiple construction-related incidents, including two Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) actions on March 18, 2020, which resulted in violations being served.

During this period, a Stop Work Order was issued but later fully rescinded on February 5, 2020. The building faced challenges with its safety certification requirements, with three failures to certify correction on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations between March and September 2020, though all these violations were eventually dismissed. The property has seen relatively few issues in the past few years, with most complaints being resolved quickly.

These include a sidewalk shed/scaffold complaint in August 2020, a COVID-19 executive order compliance check in April 2020, and an unlicensed activity complaint in November 2019, though in the latter case, inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts. A 2024 complaint was investigated and closed with no violations warranted, demonstrating some level of compliance improvement. The most recent complaint from 2025 represents the only current open issue on record, suggesting that while the building has had its share of problems, many historical issues have been resolved, with the exception of the recent concerns about possible illegal conversion activity.
