The two-family residence at 1901 Avenue U in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Stella Tsismenakis, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. The property has been subject to ongoing issues with an unauthorized commercial awning installation, resulting in two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 (violations #35330858K and #37014590R) involving an illuminated awning for "Mini Juice Corp" that was installed without proper permits, with associated penalties totaling $2,500. A 311 service request regarding a food establishment complaint was opened in late 2021 and was closed in mid-2024, though the specific nature of the complaint was addressed. The building's rodent inspection history shows a failed initial inspection in August 2022 followed by a successful compliance inspection in October 2022. Recent reports indicate no bedbug infestations have been recorded in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), with no units requiring treatment. The property is a two-story building classified as a two-family house, and while it has faced several regulatory challenges, there have been no reported safety incidents or buildings systems failures in the available records up to October 2023.
