610 Hendrix Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 610 Hendrix Street in East New York, owned by Fidelma Rijo and constructed in 1930, has experienced significant maintenance and regulatory challenges, particularly regarding unauthorized modifications to the property. In August 2019, multiple code violations were documented, including illegal use of the cellar as living space, improper plumbing connections, and the presence of an unauthorized electric stove creating an unlawful cooking space.

These violations were classified as Class B and were certified as closed by August 23, 2019. A separate complaint filed on August 6, 2019, regarding illegal conversion was ultimately determined to warrant no violations at the time of inspection in November 2019, though an Environmental Control Board violation related to occupancy contrary to the Certificate of Occupancy was issued on August 2, 2019, with substantial penalties of $1,250, which appeared to have been resolved as no balance was due.

The property's maintenance record shows consistent compliance with rodent inspections, passing three consecutive inspections conducted in April 2019, June 2012, and February 2012, indicating no pest issues during these evaluations. While the building's age and two-family classification are typical for the neighborhood, the 2019 violations demonstrate a period of regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized alterations, particularly relating to the use and occupation of cellar spaces. Since the available records only extend to October 2023, any subsequent developments or changes in the property's status would fall outside the current reporting period.
