319 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

319 Van Siclen Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1901 and currently owned by Van Siclen Partners Inc. The property has a documented history of significant issues, particularly in late 2010 when serious violations were recorded across multiple apartments, including two units being impacted by fire damage (apartments 1 and 2), multiple water supply issues in apartment 1 (including hot and cold water problems), and in the cellar apartment CC, violations related to unauthorized conversions and illegal cooking facilities were noted.

While these violations were marked as "Close," their resolution timeline is not specified in the records. More recent history from 2019-2020 shows the building underwent some troubled periods, with multiple complaints regarding unauthorized construction work and debris management, including a November 2019 ECB violation for unsafe storage of combustible materials and construction debris, which carried a $2,500 penalty. The building appeared to be undergoing substantial interior work during this period, as evidenced by a work without permit violation showing extensive interior demolition and reconstruction.

Complaints about the building's condition included reports of it being vacant and open/unguarded (April 2019), though this was subsequently inspected with no violation found. Following the environmental violations and some cleanup, a permit was issued on February 13, 2020 for work described under job number 322016830. A positive rodent inspection result from June 2012 indicates that once major violations were addressed, the property has maintained basic health standards, though the age of these records suggests careful monitoring of current conditions would be prudent.
