318 East 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 318 East 16th Street in Flatbush, owned by Mohammed Tutul, has experienced a series of concerning issues over the past three years, particularly in 2023-2024. Most notably, there is currently an active complaint (entered November 2024) regarding an illegal conversion, though access was not gained for inspection. Significant safety concerns were documented in late 2023, with multiple violations regarding damaged safety net/guard rails, for which Oath Violations were served.

A building stability issue was also reported in July 2023, though correction was documented by March 2024. Other significant complaints include defective/exposed electrical wiring in February 2024 (Oath Violation served), and construction work beyond approved plans in November 2023, though no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The building's recent history shows multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify complaints, including cases in 2022-2023.

Earlier records from 2019 included a rodent sighting complaint which was closed after three weeks, though no resolution was documented. The building has maintained a two-story configuration since its construction in 1920, though the presence of multiple recent safety and compliance issues raises concerns about the current property management practices. The highest concentration of complaints occurred in the second half of 2023, with multiple overlapping issues particularly related to safety concerns such as guard rails and structural stability.
