2849 West 20th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224
This two-story, five-unit Old Law Tenement building at 2849 West 20th Street in Coney Island, owned by Robert Mcdaniels, has several significant recent violations and concerns that potential tenants should be aware of. Most notably, there are two active Environmental Control Board violations from November 2024, each carrying a $12,500 penalty, related to unauthorized modifications in the cellar area, including the creation of three rooms with inadequate natural light and ventilation, a bathroom, kitchen facilities, and electrical work for water heaters.
These violations are serious, involving concerns about safety and habitability. The building has also faced recurring administrative challenges, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports, though it's worth noting that a rodent inspection in March 2024 passed successfully.
Additionally, in late 2024, there were two building complaints investigated - one regarding locked/blocked egress that resulted in a partial vacate order, and another concerning construction work, though no violations were found in the latter case. These persistent violations and safety concerns suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges within the building.
