610 East 49th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The two-family house at 610 East 49th Street in East Flatbush, built in 1925 and currently owned by M&J Hendrix Bk LLC, has experienced several significant events over the past few years, particularly related to construction activities. Between 2018 and 2021, the property was subject to multiple violations regarding unauthorized construction work, particularly concerning an improperly installed second story.

These violations led to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations, including failure to maintain adequate housekeeping ($2,500 penalty), failure to institute required safety measures ($5,000 penalty), and failure to maintain required on-site documents. The building experienced stop work orders in December 2020, with one being fully rescinded, and faced several compliance issues throughout 2019, particularly concerning a failure to comply with commission orders related to work without proper permits.

The property has also seen some administrative resolutions, including a dismissal of a violation related to the failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation in March 2019. The most recent permit activity occurred in 2021, with multiple permits issued for electrical and plumbing work (job number 321951802), suggesting that corrective actions were finally undertaken. While there were multiple safety-related citations during the construction period, including concerns about construction site safety and missing documentation, it's worth noting that these violations were ultimately resolved, and recent permit activity indicates that the building is currently in compliance with Department of Buildings requirements.
