335 East 29th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

This two-family house at 335 East 29th Street in East Flatbush, currently owned by Mohamed Hussain, has experienced a series of concerning events over the past few years, particularly in 2024. Most notably, the building is facing multiple active violations related to unauthorized construction and occupancy issues.

These include violations for illegal conversions, unauthorized construction in the cellar (creating three rooms and a bathroom with plumbing), and occupancy contrary to building records, indicating a possible illegal conversion to SROs (Single Room Occupancies) with eight rooms occupied across both floors. These violations come with significant financial penalties totaling over $29,000. The building also has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, with a complaint filed in December 2021 that resulted in the Housing Preservation and Development department being unable to gain access for inspection.

Additionally, there are serious maintenance concerns noted in a March 2024 violation regarding a bathroom ceiling in disrepair showing signs of discoloration and possible mold. While past rodent inspections in 2011 and 2018 showed compliance with health standards, the more recent violations suggest substantial ongoing maintenance and regulatory compliance issues. The property, originally built in 1901 and containing two stories and two units, has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations, particularly emphasizing concerns about unauthorized modifications and current building code compliance.
