11 East 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The property at 11 East 89th Street is a 2-family, 2-story building constructed in 1965, currently owned by Navlin Suckra. The building has experienced several concerning issues, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in June 2021 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding water leaks (heavy flow), mold, sewage issues, and flooring problems.

Although these complaints were eventually closed without any violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), the building continued to face regulatory scrutiny. On June 19, 2021, HPD inspections revealed three open violations related to unauthorized modifications: an illegal basement apartment with disconnected plumbing fixtures, an unlawfully installed gas range in the basement kitchen, and unpermitted conversion from a private to multiple dwelling use without proper certification.

A complaint about illegal conversion was filed with the Department of Buildings on the same day, resulting in access denial during inspection attempts. These concerns were further substantiated by an Environmental Control Board violation, citing unauthorized occupancy and unlawful installations in the basement, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. While the immediate health and safety complaints from 2021 have been addressed, the building's history suggests past concerns with unauthorized modifications and maintenance issues in mid-2021.
