938 Belmont Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The property at 938 Belmont Avenue in East New York is a two-story, four-unit tenement building built in 1930, currently owned by Motaher Hossain. The building has a significant history of code violations and safety concerns, with the most recent issues centered around incomplete compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by open Class A violations from 2021 to 2024.
The building's record shows persistent safety concerns from 2018, including problematic fire egress through obstructing bars or gates in Apartment 2R, missing window guards in both Apartments 2R and 2L, and other code violations such as a non-self-closing building entrance door and inadequate street number visibility. The property has faced serious regulatory challenges regarding unauthorized modifications, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2018 related to work performed without permits, including the creation of an unauthorized additional unit in the cellar area. These violations resulted in significant penalties totaling over $50,000, though records indicate they have been resolved.
Notably, there remains an active violation from January 2018 regarding the unauthorized conversion to a five-family dwelling, exceeding the legally authorized four-family configuration. While a rodent inspection from 2012 showed compliance, the current status of pest control and general maintenance is concerning given the ongoing violations. The building's permit history includes an electrical work permit issued in August 2019, though it's unclear if this was related to resolving any existing violations.
