Department of Buildings vacates illegally constructed apartments in Dyker Heights
According to a spokesperson for the Department of Buildings (DOB), on Thursday, the DOB made an inspection at 1317 73rd St. responding to a 311 complaint.
Upon arrival, DOB inspectors observed an illegally constructed apartment in the cellar, with unpermitted gas and plumbing lines.
DOB issued a Vacate Order on the illegal cellar unit due to a lack of two means of egress: the illegal gas lines and insufficient ventilation in the apartment.
