Augrented Insights Report for 17 John Street

17 John Street is a 15-story, 16-unit commercial building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Justin Kleinman. The Financial District property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being a currently active complaint regarding illegal conversion (June 2025) and recent safety compliance issues related to material storage (April 2025). From 2019 onwards, multiple violations have been recorded, including construction safety compliance violations in late 2020 that resulted in several fines related to improper scaffold support, inadequate housekeeping, and failure to maintain required documentation (totaling over $6,000 in penalties).

The building has faced recurring issues with bedbug reporting requirements, showing open violations in 2024 despite previous years (2019-2022) having documented infestations. External inspections have revealed violations for failing to submit required low pressure inspection filings for 2018 and 2020, though these were ultimately dismissed. The property has maintained relatively consistent rodent control measures, passing all inspections conducted between 2010-2021.

Multiple permits for work have been issued in recent years, with the most recent being for work authorized in 2024 and 2025. Historical records indicate a pattern of administrative closures for various health department complaints, including issues related to food handling practices. While the building has generally addressed its violations over time, the current open bedbug reporting violation and active illegal conversion complaint suggest ongoing challenges with compliance. The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections and issued multiple violations over the years, though many of these have been resolved or dismissed through proper documentation submission or compliance actions.
