1257A 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The three-family house at 1257A 59th Street in Borough Park, owned by Colleen Mcentee, has experienced several significant regulatory issues over the past year.
Most notably, in December 2024, the Department of Buildings issued a violation for unpermitted work on the building's front facade, where a former garage door was replaced with a decorative stone wall and four windows, with an associated ECB violation number 39133022N. Throughout late 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding the property, including allegations of illegal conversion (October 2024), construction work without proper permits (December 2024), and an unauthorized curb cut or driveway installation (September 2024).
While an inspection of the alleged illegal conversion and driveway complaint in December 2024 resulted in no violations being warranted at the time, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges at the property. The building, constructed in 1980, is classified as a two-family house and consists of three stories, which appears to conflict with its official building class designation.
