698 Williams Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family residential property at 698 Williams Avenue in East New York, owned by Kerry Medel, has a documented history of significant renovation activity in 2018 following its original construction in 1901. Between January and June 2018, the building underwent extensive renovation work, including complete gut demolition and construction on all floors, installation of multiple new bathrooms, kitchen renovations, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing updates.

During this period, the property received multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for unauthorized work, with fines totaling $13,600 across six violations, though these were all subsequently resolved. The Department of Buildings (DOB) received complaints regarding unpermitted work, including an incident in September 2018 where inspectors were unable to gain access for a second time.

Following this period of unauthorized work, the building received proper permits in July 2018 for plumbing (permit sequence #01) and exterior wall (permit sequence #01) work under job number 321801216, suggesting that the owners took corrective action to regularize the improvements made to the property. Historical records from 2011 and 2012 show passed rodent inspections, indicating no pest control issues during those years. The most recent available data shows no active violations or complaints since the resolution of the 2018 issues, and the DOB permits suggest that the building's systems were brought into compliance with current regulations.
