217 East 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236
217 East 89th Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Marie Dieubon. The property has experienced recurring issues with failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, with open violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. The building underwent significant regulatory scrutiny in March 2021, when multiple serious violations were documented regarding unauthorized modifications, including illegal gas line installations and occupancy concerns.
Specifically, several violations were issued for work done without permits, including the installation of a bathroom and kitchen facilities in the cellar, with associated water, waste, and gas line modifications. These included active violations with penalties of $12,500 and $5,000 related to unauthorized gas system alterations, and a $6,250 violation for occupancy contrary to allowed permits, though some related violations were later dismissed. The property has also faced maintenance challenges in recent years, with Department of Buildings complaints about illegal hotel rooms, excessive debris, and suspected illegal conversions, though inspections did not substantiate these complaints.
The building's history includes a problematic pattern of pest management compliance, as evidenced by open violations for bedbug report filing requirements from 2021 through 2024. The record shows fluctuating success in rodent inspections between 2011 and 2014, with several initial inspections resulting in failures for various reasons, though some subsequent compliance inspections passed. While some violations have been resolved, including certain ECB violations with dismissed penalties, others remain active as of the latest available data, including the ongoing bedbug report filing requirements and several building code violations. The property's inspection history suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding maintenance and unpermitted modifications to the building's systems and structure.
