432 Shepherd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The two-family house at 432 Shepherd Avenue in East New York, owned by Md Uddin and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant issues over recent years, with particularly notable events occurring in 2022. Most concerning is the building's current active violation status with the Environmental Control Board (ECB) as of July 2025, regarding unauthorized occupancy modifications in the cellar, including illegal living rooms, a full bathroom, kitchen facilities with an unlawful gas range, and inadequate natural light and ventilation, resulting in a $2,500 penalty.

Multiple housing maintenance code violations were documented in July 2022, including unauthorized occupancy changes, illegal cooking facilities, unsanitary rodent conditions in the cellar, and improper gate lock installations. The building's maintenance history includes pest-related complaints in July 2022, which were investigated but closed without violations being issued. Earlier records show a heat and hot water complaint from January 2019 that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

A rodent inspection from May 2012 was passed, but the subsequent complaints and violations suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges. In 2023, an illegal conversion complaint was investigated by the Department of Buildings but resulted in no violations being warranted at that time. The property, classified as a two-family house, appears to have undergone modifications suggesting it may have been occupied and maintained as a multiple dwelling contrary to its permitted occupancy designation, based on both ECB and housing violation records.
