209 Essex Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 209 Essex Street in Cypress Hills, owned by Chinedu Agu, has a documented history of construction-related issues and regulatory compliance matters spanning several years. Built in 1901, this two-story building has undergone various permit-related activities, with multiple permit issuances in 2019 and 2020, including plumbing and electrical work.

The property experienced significant construction activity from 2018 to 2019, during which time there were several complaints about work being conducted contrary to stop work orders, though inspections generally found no violations at the time. Environmental Control Board violations from January 2019 were issued against Impart Builders Corp for inadequate construction fencing, poor housekeeping, unauthorized work, and safety lapses, with one violation carrying a penalty of $5,000. The building has also faced challenges with compliance inspections, particularly in late 2020, when multiple attempts to inspect under Local Law 188/17 were met with access issues.

Earlier inspections in 2014 raised concerns about rodent control, with failed results in January and March of that year, though previous inspections in 2012-2013 had passed. While no current violations are on record, the history indicates a pattern of construction-related issues, access challenges for inspections, and occasional housekeeping concerns during the 2018-2019 period, with most matters having been resolved through proper channels. The most recent activity consists of a permit issued in February 2020, with no subsequent complaints or violations recorded to date.
