23 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
23 East 17th Street is a 6-story Class A residential building constructed in 1903, currently owned by Jordan Forrester. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of violations identified during a July 2023 inspection related to unsanitary conditions in the basement garbage/recycling storage area. These violations included problems with trash accumulation, improper receptacles, and pest control issues (specifically roach infestation), though these violations were subsequently certified as closed on July 28, 2023.
The building also has multiple active and historical violations regarding boiler inspections, with the most recent being issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report. Between 2018 and 2024, there were several similar violations related to missing boiler inspection filings, though many were dismissed due to subsequent compliance. The property underwent construction activities between 2018-2019 that generated multiple safety violations, including concerns about guardrails and safety equipment on the job site, as well as issues with waste management and worker insurance documentation.
These violations were primarily associated with contractors Aspen Truss Inc and Empire Resr/Cons Corp and were eventually resolved. More recently, the building has maintained a clean pest control record, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past four years, and it has consistently passed rodent inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014. The Department of Buildings has issued multiple permits for various work types between 2018 and 2020, including plumbing, electrical, and excavation-related activities, indicating ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts for the 123-year-old property.
