17 Dewey Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The two-family home at 17 Dewey Place in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Daniel Tober, has experienced several significant construction-related incidents since 2022 that warrant attention. Most notably, in August 2022, there were multiple violations regarding unauthorized construction work, including the presence of workers performing interior finishing work on an unpermitted rear extension, which resulted in construction safety compliance violations. This work prompted a Stop Work Order, though records show this order was eventually fully rescinded in March 2023.

The Department of Buildings issued several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations against NYC Rock Inc during this period, including concerns about unpermitted construction of a CMU wall with exposed rebar in the rear yard, inadequate construction fencing, and dangerous working conditions due to improperly capped rebar. While most of these violations were resolved with varying penalties, the construction-related issues stand out as the most significant concerns on record for the property. On a more positive note, the building has maintained good rodent control compliance, passing inspections in 2019, 2022, 2024, and most recently in July 2025.

The property is currently processing multiple permits associated with exterior work (job number 340839631), with the latest permit having been officially issued in May 2023. The two-story, 2-family house was built in 1910 and has a single unit according to current records. The sequence of construction violations and work stoppages in 2022-2023 suggests a period of regulatory scrutiny, though more recent permit activity indicates potential ongoing improvements to the property.
