905 East 54th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11234

The two-family house at 905 East 54th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Wilson Pierre, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, particularly in mid-2023 when multiple complaints were filed between June 23 and July 21, 2023. These complaints included unsafe conditions related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors (classified as emergencies), persistent water leaks, and unsanitary pest conditions. The building has a documented history of mold problems, with a significant incident in August 2019 that required HPD intervention, and current open violations from the 2023 inspection related to mold on various walls and ceilings.

Of particular concern is an active Department of Buildings violation from August 2023 regarding an alleged illegal conversion in the cellar, creating unauthorized living space with full-height partitions, residential kitchen facilities, and bathroom facilities, which has resulted in two active violations for operating beyond the legally approved number of families. The property has shown ongoing maintenance challenges, with violations remaining open from previous inspections including issues with electrical outlets, plaster surfaces, and various water-related problems. A serious safety concern existed in 2019 with mold conditions affecting multiple areas in Apartment 1, though some of these violations were eventually closed.

The building's history also shows inconsistent rodent control efforts, with failed inspections in 2014. Recent inspections in 2023 led to a partial vacate order being issued, though a subsequent inspection found no violations warranting further action. While some issues from 2019 were addressed, many violations, particularly those relating to water damage, pest infestations, and safety equipment, remain unresolved or have recurred, indicating potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
