371 East 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-family house at 371 East 29th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Karen Phill, is a 2-story brick structure built in 1901. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past two years, with the most notable concerns revolving around waste management and rodent control.

In 2023, there was an active violation regarding inadequate housekeeping involving construction debris and garbage bags, for which a penalty of $6,250 was imposed and remains due under GBI Contracting LLC's responsibility as of June 2023. This followed multiple complaints about debris and excessive garbage between April and June 2023. The property has had recurring inspections and complaints related to rodent activity, with the most recent rodent-related incident reported in April 2023, though the Department of Health inspection that same day found no violations.

Rodent inspections between 2018 and 2023 have shown mixed results, with a failed inspection in January 2023 and subsequently passing inspections in February, May, and previous years. Other notable incidents include an illegal after-hours work complaint in January 2023, where inspectors were unable to gain access, though this was followed by successful compliance inspections in February 2024. Despite these challenges, it is worth noting that the building has successfully passed multiple health and safety inspections, most recently in early 2024, when both a tracking compliance inspection and a sweep inspection found no violations warranting action.
