1626 Nostrand Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The three-story, two-family house at 1626 Nostrand Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Jordan Silvetti and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant incidents over the past few years, particularly in 2019. The property faced multiple regulatory challenges in late 2019, beginning with a July complaint regarding illegal conversion that led to an inspection and Oath Violation Service in September of that year.

This situation escalated into three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in September-December 2019, including unauthorized conversion of the residence beyond its legally approved two-family designation, unauthorized alteration work involving partition walls, bathroom installations, and plumbing modifications on the first floor, and failure to comply with a commissioner order related to a previous violation. While one ECB violation came with a $2,500 penalty, records show no balance due.

In September 2019, there was also a Department of Health complaint regarding indoor air quality and ventilation, which was closed the following day. The building's regulatory challenges continued into early 2020, including a January violation for failing to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation, though this was later dismissed by the Department of Buildings. The resolution history indicates that while many violations were marked as "resolved," the sequence of events suggests a period of significant regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized modifications to the property and its occupancy status.
