19 Sheridan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

19 Sheridan Avenue is a two-family residential building located in the Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn, constructed in 1910 and featuring two stories. The property, currently owned by Mintoo Hoque, has been subject to several Department of Buildings complaints over the past five years, with the most pressing concerns being related to permit issues and possible illegal conversion.

Between 2020 and 2022, there were four separate complaints regarding permits, with all inspections resulting in either no violations being found or the inspector being unable to gain access after multiple attempts. A specific complaint regarding alleged illegal conversion was filed in April 2021, following a similar pattern of access issues during the inspection.

Interestingly, there is an isolated rodent inspection record from March 2012 which resulted in a passed inspection, suggesting that any pest-related concerns were addressed at that time. The building's complaint history shows a pattern of access challenges for inspectors, with three of the four complaints in 2020-2022 requiring multiple attempts for inspection access. While the absence of violations in the majority of inspections could be viewed positively, the recurring nature of permit-related complaints and access issues warrants attention.
