408 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 408 Van Siclen Avenue in East New York, owned by Andrew Ricketts, has been monitored through various municipal inspections and violations since its construction in 1930. The property experienced several significant events in 2020, most notably in March when a rodent-related complaint was filed, leading to inspections by both the Department of Health and the Department of Buildings. While the health inspection initially revealed minor violations, the building was subsequently cited for being vacant, open, and unguarded.

An April 2020 inspection resulted in multiple environmental violations, including failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner and issues related to illegal off-street parking. These violations, which included penalties totaling $9,875, remain active according to records. The building's rodent inspections show a mixed history, with six inspections conducted between 2009 and 2020.

While most recent inspections (2014 onward) passed, there were two failures (2012 and 2019) noted for "Other Reasons," though specifics are not provided in the available data. The property is classified as a two-family house with two stories and has been subject to regular rodent inspections, with the most recent inspection in March 2020. The building has maintained its original structure as recorded, though the parking-related violations suggest unauthorized modifications to the property. These violations, imposed under various codes including zoning regulations and building code sections, indicate historical challenges with the property's maintenance and compliance with city regulations.
