1095 Union Street, Brooklyn, NY 11225

1095 Union Street in Crown Heights is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Sean Sandys. The property has experienced several significant regulatory events in recent months, with the most pressing concern being an active violation as of December 2024 regarding unauthorized construction work.

This violation, issued on December 16, 2024, involves "newly created horizontal extension at expo #3 with new exterior and partition walls," including unauthorized wood and metal structure modifications that were improperly joined to the existing framework. The building has been under structural monitoring since December 2024, and a partial stop work order was issued on the same date regarding unpermitted work in an occupied multiple dwelling. The Department of Buildings' recent inspection history shows a pattern of enforcement actions related to unauthorized work.

In March 2025, there was an Oath Violation served during a Special Operations Compliance Inspection, while a January 2025 complaint regarding work without a permit resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access for inspection on their second and final attempt. The building's regulatory record indicates ongoing concerns about compliance with permitting requirements and proper notification procedures, with multiple instances of required inspections being impeded by access issues or work conditions. Given the building's age and history of construction-related violations, these recent events warrant attention to the property's regulatory compliance status and building safety oversight.
