935 55th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The two-family house at 935 55th Street in Borough Park, owned by Yu Guo Zheng, has experienced significant structural and compliance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were multiple violations related to construction work, including sustainability enforcement issues and construction safety compliance matters, both of which resulted in Oath Violations being served.

Notably, during this period, the building experienced serious concerns about structural stability, with a complaint filed in August 2024 regarding building shaking and vibration. This led to the issuance of a Stop Work Order, which was eventually fully rescinded in September 2024. The building has a documented history of compliance issues in 2024, including violations for work conducted contrary to previous Stop Work Orders and tampering with posted notices.

Two separate ECB violations were issued in September 2024, one concerning an improperly posted project information panel with a penalty of $1,250, and another related to work not conforming to the approved plan, specifically involving unauthorized removal of exterior walls, with a penalty of $2,500. Earlier, in January 2022, there was a complaint about an illegal conversion, though the inspectors were unable to gain access during their investigation. The building has been through a period of significant construction activity, marked by multiple complaints and violations primarily related to safety compliance and unauthorized work, which raises concerns about both resident safety and proper regulatory adherence.
