211 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 2-family house at 211 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Mohammed Hossain, has a notable history of building code violations and safety concerns, particularly during 2019. The property was found to have multiple illegal units, with Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations issued in July 2019 for exceeding the legally authorized number of dwelling units. Inspections revealed unauthorized partitions creating several "rooming" units (SROs) throughout the cellar, first, and second floors, for which the building received substantial fines totaling $105,000 (though the balance due was listed as $10,000).

Other significant violations included a lack of proper means of egress, for which a $2,500 penalty was imposed, and unauthorized construction work, with a penalty of $1,250. The building's safety profile has improved since these issues were resolved, with subsequent inspections showing no major violations of this nature. The property also experienced a rodent sighting in April 2019, though this was investigated and subsequently passed inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building's pest control history shows several failed inspections in early 2011, though more recent inspections from 2011 and 2019 have consistently passed. While the building is now in compliance with major violations and has not had recent significant issues, it's worth noting the cluster of safety and regulatory concerns that occurred in 2019, particularly regarding unauthorized unit conversions and egress safety. The building, constructed in 1910, consists of two stories and contains two officially recognized units, though the 2019 violations indicated unauthorized additional units had been created.
