475 East 94th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 475 East 94th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Dadrine Michel, has had several notable issues over the past years. Most prominently, there are active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020 related to unauthorized construction work and failure to comply with a commissioner's order, with penalties totaling $1,750.

These violations stem from a September 2020 inspection that found an unauthorized full-height partition wall creating an additional bedroom in a second-floor apartment. The building has also faced regular inspections regarding bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent 2024 filing (for the period November 2022 to October 2023) reported no infested units, suggesting successful eradication efforts. In 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding potential illegal conversions of the property, though in all cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building's history also includes a 2020 complaint about illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, which was investigated but no violations were found at that time. More positively, a March 2023 rodent inspection passed successfully, and there is currently a permit application in process as of May 2022. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2023, with the most recent report showing zero infested or previously infested units, though this was a repeat violation that required correction notifications in previous years.
