146 Jamaica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The three-story, 2-family house at 146 Jamaica Avenue in Cypress Hills, currently owned by Geralda Tineo, has a documented history of violations that warrant attention. Most notably, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2022 that relate to unauthorized occupancy of the property. In July 2021, a violation was issued for occupancy contrary to allowed use, specifically noting that a garage space was occupied and improperly arranged with displayed amps, speakers, and tools/materials for speaker manufacturing.

This violation resulted in a penalty of $1,250, which remains active. The subsequent violation in November 2022, also associated with Geralda Tineo, relates to failure to comply with an order to file a certificate of correction regarding the previous garage-related violation, for which a further penalty of $1,250 was imposed and remains active as well. The building's only other documented inspection was a successful rodent inspection conducted in June 2012, though this is now quite dated.

The property's violation history indicates ongoing non-compliance issues, particularly related to unauthorized use of garage space, though there is no record of any safety-related violations. The oldest documented building unit combination is that of a 2-family house, built in 1926, suggesting a possible conversion to accommodate 3 units, though the current legal status of the unit configuration is not definitively stated in the available records. These environmental control violations, particularly the failure to comply with correction orders, represent the most significant ongoing issue affecting this property from a regulatory compliance perspective.
