383 Bradford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 383 Bradford Street in East New York, owned by Josef Ariel, has experienced several notable incidents, particularly in late 2019. The property underwent multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections in September 2019, primarily related to site conditions and permit compliance issues.

Of particular concern were violations related to unsafe combustible construction materials and excessive debris in the backyard, which were deemed to pose dangers to the attached houses. These violations resulted in three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued between September and December 2019, with penalties totaling $2,500, though these were subsequently resolved with no balance due. The building's maintenance history shows a rat activity inspection in November 2019, following a "passed" inspection in April 2019 and another "passed" inspection in June 2012, indicating a potential rodent issue during late 2019 that appeared to be resolved by October 2020 when the ECB violations were marked as resolved.

A permit for electrical work was issued in October 2019 (Job Number 321998335). The property had three instances of inspectors being unable to gain access during inspections in September 2019 (two of which were final attempts), raising concerns about compliance verification. While the ECB violation for failure to file a Certificate of Correction (C of C) was issued in December 2019, this matter was resolved by December 18, 2019, when the dismissal notice was recorded, indicating that the immediate hazardous conditions were addressed, though initially these violations had been marked as "Not Resolved."
