1853 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 1853 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay has a documented history of several building and health-related issues since 2021. Most notably, there has been ongoing concern about unauthorized construction, with two separate Environmental Control Board violations issued in late 2023 regarding an unpermitted concrete porch and electrical installations.

These violations were observed during inspections in October and November 2023, though curiously, one record shows a balance due of -$800. The building's maintenance history shows some significant events, including a Department of Buildings investigation in April 2022 for defective or leaking plumbing, which was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection. The property's health inspections reveal a somewhat concerning pattern, with initial rodent inspections in September 2021 resulting in failure for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection in November 2021 passed.

The building's complaint history shows consistent addresses at "11229" in official records, though this seems to differ from the property's actual street address. While some violations have been resolved, the repetition of unpermitted work and the initial rodent issues suggest historical challenges with building maintenance and compliance. The structure itself is a two-story, 1920-built frame housing approximately 2 units, currently owned by 1853 East 13th Street LLC.
