191 Malta Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

The two-family house at 191 Malta Street in East New York, owned by Avram Boruchov, has experienced several notable incidents and complaints over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in 2022. During that year, multiple complaints were filed regarding potential gas line violations, electrical wiring concerns, and an illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the property for verification in all but one instance (the illegal conversion complaint).

Two complaints regarding improper sidewalk shed conditions were recorded in 2020 and 2021, with violations served in both cases. The building's historical maintenance record includes a 2018 violation related to unsafe building conditions concerning cement/plaster repairs around windows, which was ultimately dismissed in July 2023 after being properly repaired and signed off. Earlier issues included a vacancy concern in 2020 when the building was reported as vacant, open, and unguarded, though no violations were found upon inspection.

The property has been subject to inspection requests for multiple safety concerns, particularly during 2021-2022, including a 2022 complaint regarding exposed electrical wiring. Outside inspections, particularly regarding scaffold safety, have been a recurring theme, with three separate complaints between 2019-2021 about inadequate or defective sidewalk shed conditions, culminating in an Oath Violation in April 2021. The building's current status appears more stable, with recent documentation indicating that previously outstanding repair issues have been addressed and properly documented.
