220 East 34th Street, Brooklyn

Active code violations on the interior, illegal conversion filings, and air quality signals on the block.

A 1910 East Flatbush two-family brick townhouse that generates a surprisingly dense paper trail. Small residential properties usually stay off the radar, but this house carries 18 open housing-code violations alongside active building-use and plumbing complaints. Three things to know:

Active code violations and single-room occupancy filings dominate the official file. Five separate building-use filings were logged in mid-2026, citing single-room occupancy alterations and illegal conversions. The owner was also cited in late 2025 for failing to file a valid registration statement, and current HPD records list 18 open violations covering broken entrance locks, hall obstructions, and missing garbage receptacles.

Water supply issues combine with localized indoor air quality reports. The building file includes 28 plumbing and 47 unsanitary condition complaints, with citations on the second floor for defective faucets, light fixtures, and lack of hot and cold water. Surrounding blocks also logged 6 indoor air quality and 7 food establishment calls over the last year, pointing to localized air and exhaust venting friction.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 326 illegal parking calls within three blocks last year, including 242 blocked hydrant complaints.
• 227 residential noise calls within three blocks over the last 12 months, mostly for loud music and parties.
• The last deed transfer on file shows an $800,000 purchase in December 2018.
