611 Hegeman Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

611 Hegeman Avenue is a 2-family, 2-story residential building located in East New York, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Mohammed Hossain. The property has experienced several significant issues, most notably related to illegal apartment conversions and safety violations. In 2018, the building faced multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water deficiencies and mold issues, with an inspection revealing violations related to inadequate heat supply in Apartment 1 on the first story.

Multiple illegal conversion violations were documented, including unauthorized cooking facilities in both the cellar and South Cellar areas, and unauthorized plumbing fixtures including a water closet, wash basin, bathtub, and kitchen sink. These violations resulted in Environmental Control Board penalties totaling $2,500. The building's illegal conversion status remains a concern, with a complaint filed in May 2025 that could not be inspected on the first attempt.

Previous inspection attempts in 2018 were similarly unsuccessful. While some violations from 2018 were ultimately closed, including a 2019 dismissal related to failure to certify correction of hazardous violations, the current owner's records show ongoing concerns about compliance with occupancy and safety regulations. On a positive note, the property passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012, indicating no pest issues during those periods. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized modifications and compliance with building codes, though many past violations have been resolved or closed.
