99 Waverly Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The three-story, two-family house at 99 Waverly Avenue in Clinton Hill, built in 1901 and currently owned by Robert Lashley Jr, has experienced several significant events over the past few years, particularly relating to construction and safety issues. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple violations regarding inadequate pedestrian protection and sidewalk shed issues, with four separate violations issued to Skwyorx Contracting Inc. in October 2020, totaling over $15,000 in penalties.

These violations cited inadequate lighting, missing guardrails, and failure to meet code specifications for pedestrian protection. In December 2021, there were additional serious safety violations concerning temporary shoring and lack of safety equipment measures, for which Horizon Construction Inc. was held responsible, with penalties totaling $3,120. The building has undergone several permitted construction projects, with the most recent permits issued in 2022 for emergency work.

There have also been some complaints filed with the Department of Buildings, including a non-conforming zoning complaint in March 2023, which resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. The property had three CSE sweeps conducted between December 2021 and April 2022, and while there was a Stop Work Order issued in December 2021, this was fully rescinded in June 2022. An earlier sidewalk shed complaint from July 2020 resulted in an Oath Violation being served. While most violations have been resolved and penalties paid, the pattern of safety-related incidents and violations from 2020-2022 suggests a period of construction and safety concerns that potential tenants should be aware of, though there have been no reported violations or complaints in recent years.
