258 Eckford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

258 Eckford Street is a two-family, two-story house built in 1899 and currently owned by Andrzej Potrapeluk. The property has been undergoing significant construction activity since 2021, with multiple complaints and violations recorded between 2023 and 2025. Most notably, between 2023 and 2024, there were serious violations related to unauthorized vertical enlargement attempts, with construction reportedly trying to convert the existing two-family house into a 7-family, 4-story building.

These violations, involving improper installation of equipment and non-compliance with safety standards, resulted in penalties totaling $7,125, though these were later resolved. The building experienced multiple construction-related complaints in 2024-2025, including safety compliance issues, unsafe site conditions, and problems with construction debris, though inspections generally found no violations warranting action. A significant stop-work order was issued in August 2024 but was fully rescinded, indicating some construction activity issues during this period. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years.

While rodent inspections in 2011 showed one failure (subsequently passed re-inspections), this issue appears to have been resolved. Permit records show activity related to construction work in 2021-2022, with an exterior work (EW) permit being issued, though there were subsequent complications with permit renewal in 2023. The most recent complaints have been primarily related to construction compliance issues, with the last active complaint as of June 2024 regarding sustainability enforcement work. The building's age and recent construction activity suggest significant changes to the property, though many regulatory issues have been addressed through inspections and compliance measures.
