574 East 93rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 574 East 93rd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Elfreda Porter-bacchus, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022. The property, built in 1920, is currently facing multiple open violations related to apartment 2 that were issued in July 2022, including documented problems with rodent infestation (mice), broken or defective plastered surfaces, unsafe electrical wiring conditions with exposed wires, inadequate electrical service to fixtures, and issues with carbon monoxide detecting devices.

Between January and May 2022, there were several infrastructure problems reported through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including multiple power outages, electrical issues (including non-functioning lighting), heat and hot water problems, and water leaks, some of which were categorized as emergencies. More recently, in December 2022, the Department of Buildings issued violations related to unauthorized alterations in the cellar area, noting the construction of an unauthorized Class A apartment with bathroom facilities, a bed, and personal belongings, though there was a subsequent inspection in February 2024 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

A permit for work at the property was issued in November 2023, with sequence number 340906461, though the specific nature of the work was not detailed in the available records. The building's history suggests persistent maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment 2, though there has been no documented resolution of the major violations outstanding since 2022 as of the most recent available data.
