1147 East 59th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 1147 East 59th Street in Flatlands, owned by Jim Ane, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2018.

Most notably, in February 2018, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued due to water flow problems in the basement, with a penalty of $2,500 imposed for failing to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner. In March 2019, a more serious incident occurred when the building was reported vacant, open, and unguarded, leading to violations being served in April 2019.

This period of concerns was followed by an active response from the owner, as evidenced by the issuance of a permit in August 2019 for work to be completed under job number 321976536. While there have been no recorded violations or complaints in the past four years, the building's recent history suggests previous challenges with both water management and building security that required intervention from city agencies.
