18 East 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
This two-family house located at 18 East 55th Street in East Flatbush, owned by John Duncan, has recently experienced significant legal and compliance issues related to building modifications.
In March 2024, a complaint was filed regarding an illegal conversion of the property, which was subsequently investigated in December 2024. During this inspection, authorities documented unpermitted construction work on the ground floor, specifically noting that the original garage door had been replaced with a brick wall, windows, and a door without proper authorization.
This modification led to both a violation notice and an associated financial penalty of $1,250, which remains active as of the latest records. The building, which was constructed in 1945, is currently classified as a two-family house and has a recorded single unit, though the recent conversion claims suggest potential discrepancies in official unit counts.
