261 Eldert Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family residence at 261 Eldert Street in Bushwick, owned by Walter Sherrod, has experienced some noteworthy issues in early 2025 that warrant attention.

Most concerning are two separate complaints in February 2025 regarding potentially unauthorized construction activity and permit-related matters, with inspections scheduled for late February and early May respectively. Both inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to the inspector being unable to gain access to the property on two separate occasions despite these being second final attempts.

The building, which dates back to 1920, has maintained its two-story structure throughout its history. While the most recent complaints have been resolved in terms of inspection attempts, the nature of the complaints - relating to construction activities beyond approved plans or permits - suggests there may have been work done at the property without proper authorization, though the final disposition codes indicate the inspections were unable to verify this directly due to lack of access.
