2455 Bragg Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The three-story, two-family house at 2455 Bragg Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Dora Weiss, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. In 2019, housing maintenance violations were recorded in apartment 2 regarding broken kitchen cabinet doors and defective window balances, though these were subsequently closed.

A concerning pattern emerged between 2021-2022, with multiple complaints suggesting unauthorized modifications to the property, including illegal conversions and unpermitted plumbing and electrical work. During this period, several building department inspections were conducted where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions, gas hook-ups, and work conducted without proper permits. Two Environmental Control Board violations remain active and noteworthy from May 2021, involving unpermitted construction of a new apartment with partition walls and installation of plumbing and electrical systems in the cellar area, with significant penalties imposed (over $25,000 combined).

Additional violations were recorded during this period for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous violations, though these were eventually dismissed. A plumbing-related complaint from 2022 did lead to a stop work order, which was fully rescinded later that year. The building's documented history suggests a period of substantial unauthorized modifications and compliance challenges between 2021-2022, though more recent records show no new violations or complaints through October 2023.
