476 Jerome Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 476 Jerome Street in East New York, currently owned by Michael Gendin, has a documented history of significant regulatory issues, particularly between 2019 and 2020, that remain unresolved as of July 2025. The Department of Buildings (DOB) issued a Full Stop Work Order on June 26, 2019, related to unpermitted renovation work, which included construction of an illegal basement apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and gas connections, along with unauthorized modifications to the legal two apartments.

This violation led to multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, with penalties totaling $37,500 across three separate violations issued between 2019 and 2020, all related to failure to comply with the Commissioner's order and to file a Certificate of Correction. An additional active DOB violation from September 2019 pertains to failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation.

The building's permit history shows a permit was issued in August 2021 for unspecified work (Job Number 322086924), but it's unclear if this was related to addressing the prior violations. The property has also undergone rodent inspections, passing in 2017 and 2012, though it failed an initial inspection in December 2016 for unspecified reasons. The most recent available data indicates ongoing non-compliance issues, particularly concerning the unaddressed ECB violations from 2019-2020, which include penalties that remain outstanding as of the latest records.
