148 East 31st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 148 East 31st Street in East Flatbush, owned by Joseph Yaakovzadeh, has experienced several noteworthy incidents in recent years, particularly related to construction and drainage issues. Most significantly, between March and June 2024, there were multiple violations related to construction work, including three separate instances of failure to obey stop work orders, with associated Oath violations.

The building also faced drainage challenges, with complaints filed in March 2024 and again in April 2021, though inspections showed difficulty gaining access in both cases. An important construction-related incident occurred in December 2023 regarding work done contrary to approved plans, but this was eventually resolved with the stop work order being fully rescinded in August 2024.

The property's earlier history includes a health department inspection in September 2022 regarding rodent concerns, though this inspection found no violations. A building violation filed in July 2021 related to failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous ECB violation was ultimately dismissed in August 2023. The house has maintained its original two-story structure since its construction in 1910, and while there have been multiple service requests and violations logged with the Department of Buildings, many of these issues appear to have been resolved through inspections and subsequent compliance actions, with the most recent significant events occurring in 2024.
