1452 East 89th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The three-story, two-family house at 1452 East 89th Street in Canarsie, currently owned by Nadeem Ishaq, has experienced several significant regulatory issues over the past few years. The most pressing current concern is a series of active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2021, with total penalties exceeding $100,000, primarily relating to unauthorized construction work at the third floor level including a stairwell and bathroom modifications, and failure to correct previous violations.

These violations stem from a November 2019 inspection that documented unpermitted construction work including waste lines and a bathtub installation, for which the building received multiple penalty notices throughout 2021. The building's recent history also includes several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints between 2019-2020, with significant issues related to illegal conversions of the space. In September 2019, a partial vacate order was issued, followed by another illegal conversion complaint in November 2019.

A water retention and drainage issue was documented in July 2020, resulting in an oath violation. Most notably, there remains an active DOB violation from February 2020 regarding failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous conditions. The cumulative history suggests ongoing challenges with unauthorized modifications and compliance with building codes, particularly regarding water systems and unit configurations, though the exact current state of these violations and corrections as of July 2025 cannot be determined from available records through October 2023.
