1519 St Marks Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family house at 1519 St Marks Avenue in Crown Heights, owned by Lukasz Swowronek, has experienced several significant maintenance and structural issues over recent years. Most notably, in January 2022, a Department of Buildings inspection revealed substantial problems with the party wall at exposure 2, including multiple holes that left the structure vulnerable to the elements and water penetration.

This prompted the issuance of an order requiring a structural engineer's report, which led to subsequent Environmental Control Board violations in both November 2022 and October 2023 for failing to initially comply with this order, though these violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties due. The building's documented history also includes a power outage in August 2021 that required inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were issued in relation to this event.

Earlier concerns about the property included a 2020 complaint regarding an illegal conversion, which resulted in an inspection but was categorized as "Access Denied - 2nd Attempt." A construction-related complaint was entered in January 2022, which was closed in February 2024 with a notation of "N2" in the disposition code. While the property has seen multiple violations and required inspections over the past few years, the most critical issues appear to have been addressed, with the structural concerns being resolved through the submission of the required engineer's report.
