531 Euclid Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

The 2-family home at 531 Euclid Avenue in East New York, currently owned by Ashref Hauter, has experienced several notable events since records began in 2012. The building, constructed in 1925 and consisting of two stories, is currently facing issues stemming from past violations and compliance matters. Most significantly, in 2019, the Department of Buildings documented multiple serious issues, including a failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, with reports of collapsing ceilings and leaks affecting both floors.

There were also serious concerns regarding illegal occupancy, with reports of the second floor rear unit being converted into unauthorized SROs housing five occupants, despite the building's approved two-family configuration. These violations resulted in multiple ECB penalties totaling $4,937, though records indicate these were eventually resolved. The property faced additional compliance issues in 2019 related to failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations, though these violations were dismissed in 2020, likely due to payment of associated invoices.

The building's maintenance history shows some plumbing-related concerns, with a 311 service request and HPD complaint regarding water supply issues in January 2022, though inspections found no violations in this instance. Prior to these incidents, the building underwent some construction work in 2019, with permits issued in March and May of that year for plumbing and electrical work. A rodent inspection conducted in April 2012 passed without issue, indicating no problems with vermin at that time. While the recent years have shown fewer violations compared to the peak issues in 2019-2020, the building's history suggests periodic maintenance and compliance challenges that may affect resident comfort and safety.
