20 Logan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

20 Logan Street is a two-family residential property located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, consisting of three units over two stories, built in 1920 and currently owned by 20 Logan Inc. The building has experienced significant regulatory challenges since 2021, with multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to unauthorized modifications including illegal living spaces, plumbing fixtures, and cooking facilities in the cellar, representing unauthorized conversion from a private to multiple dwelling status - all documented on March 5, 2021.

This pattern of unauthorized modifications triggered both Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, with the ECB violation specifically noting the construction of an illegal Class A apartment in the cellar with unlawful gas lines and plumbing, resulting in a $2,500 penalty that remains unpaid as of the most recent information. The building also received a violation in January 2022 for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation. Two access attempts for inspections related to these violations were documented in 2021 and 2022 (complaint numbers 3789024 and 3870448), but in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain entry.

The property's compliance history shows an attempt to conduct proper oversight, though access issues have hindered resolution of the outstanding violations. On the positive side, the building passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2017, suggesting no significant pest control issues during those periods. However, the most pressing concern remains the series of active violations related to building code non-compliance and unauthorized modifications that have persisted for over four years, with the most recent active violation being for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition from January 2022.
