283 Cornelia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The two-family residence at 283 Cornelia Street in Bushwick, currently owned by Chaoyang Zheng, has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years warranting attention. Most notably, in July 2021, there was a documented building stability complaint involving shaking or vibrating, which resulted in violations being served, though subsequent inspections did not reveal structural issues.

The building also experienced water damage in 2022 due to a fire at the adjacent property (285 Cornelia Street), leading to temporary non-compliance status, though this violation was eventually dismissed. Construction-related issues were documented in 2018, resulting in a Stop Work Order, though this was fully rescinded by early 2019.

The property has had ongoing challenges with rodent activity, with the most recent complaint filed in August 2021 still marked as in progress as of late 2023. However, there have been significant improvements in pest control recently, with consistent passing inspections for rodent presence in 2023, 2024, and 2025, following a period of active management between 2016-2022 that included multiple instances of bait application and some initial failures of inspections. In terms of regulatory compliance, an Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 related to work without proper permits was resolved with a penalty of $6,280, though the current balance due is $0.
