33 East 32nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 33 East 32nd Street in East Flatbush, owned by Devontae Edwards, has experienced several significant issues since 2020, with particularly alarming developments in 2024. The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2019 complaint about an illegal pet rooster and multiple 2020 incidents involving mold, which was categorized as an unsanitary condition, along with various appliance and electrical issues.

More recently, in 2024, the building has faced serious structural concerns, with multiple active violations indicating unauthorized excavation and demolition work. Inspections in March 2024 revealed approximately 5 feet of excavation in the basement, unpermitted shoring in the garage, and ongoing demolition of walls and ceilings at the second-floor level, with the entire lot being deemed unsafe to use or occupy. These violations have led to multiple "Full Stop Work Order" and "Full Vacate Order" notices being served.

The Department of Buildings has documented various compliance inspections in early 2024, with some showing "Buildings Violation(s) Served," though a few inspections did not warrant violations at the time. A permit-related violation was also recorded in February 2024, with a disposition date in May 2024. While some earlier issues from 2020 were resolved, the recent structural problems represent the most serious safety concerns to date, with active violations requiring immediate attention to address the compromised building conditions.
