353 Monroe Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

353 Monroe Street is a two-family house located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Miguel Sanfiz. The two-story building, which contains three units, experienced significant construction-related issues during 2018-2019, with multiple complaints and violations primarily focused on structural safety concerns. Between August 2018 and June 2019, there were multiple incidents of inadequate support and shoring, building shaking, and concerns about potentially affected structural stability, which led to stop work orders being issued.

Notably, there was a violation issued in February 2019 for failing to obey a stop work order. Additional work site safety concerns were raised in June 2019, though this stop work order was fully rescinded. The building also faced four immediately hazardous (Class 1) violations in February 2019 related to certification corrections, all of which were dismissed by January 2020.

The Department of Buildings received several complaints regarding adjacent buildings not being properly protected, with inspections in November 2018 and October 2019 finding no violations at the time. Despite the concerning pattern of complaints and violations during this period, the most recent documented activity is from 2020, suggesting that these issues were resolved. The building's recent history (post-2020) shows no recorded complaints or violations, though this should be verified against more current databases. The 353 Monroe Street property was notably involved in a series of interconnected structural safety concerns during 2018-2019, but there is no indication of ongoing issues based on available records through 2020.
