609 Logan Street

The two-family house at 609 Logan Street in East New York, owned by Dominique Vabre, has a concerning history of structural and safety issues spanning several years. Most notably, between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple violations regarding building maintenance and safety, including a series of problems with the front porch collapse and exposed building elements. In 2019, the property experienced significant structural issues with the front porch collapsing and exposing wood to the elements, leading to several environmental control board violations with associated penalties of $2,500 each. In 2020, there were critical safety concerns including missing guardrails and problems with combustible materials at a construction site, resulting in additional fines.

The building has had numerous complaints related to work practices and permit compliance between 2018 and 2022, with several inspections finding no violations, though there were some instances of hazardous conditions requiring attention. Notably, there were multiple instances of failure to maintain building walls or appurtenances during 2018-2019, as well as several complaints about work being done without proper permits or outside of permitted hours. The property underwent multiple permit issuances between 2018 and 2020, including several emergency work permits, suggesting ongoing construction and maintenance activities. While rodent inspections in 2012 resulted in a passing grade, the building's more recent history indicates a pattern of structural maintenance challenges and safety violations, though many of these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent inspections and compliance actions.
