233 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003

233 East 17th Street is a 4-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Carlos Irizarry. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant being an unresolved intercom system problem reported in March 2021 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In 2019, there was a verified unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage that was corrected promptly.

The building has faced some regulatory challenges, including a 2018 violation for illegal occupancy in the cellar area, which was resolved without penalty. Other notable violations include a 2019 failure to file an energy benchmarking report (dismissed upon confirmation of submission) and an active DOB violation from March 2020, though specific details were not provided in the records. Recent inspections of the building's pest and rodent control measures have been promising, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024) according to the mandatory reporting system, and the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 resulting in a "passed" designation.

The property has maintained compliance with housing maintenance codes regarding pest control, as evidenced by regular passed inspections from 2011 through 2025. While there have been separate 311 complaints and departmental violations over the years, these tend to be addressed promptly once reported. The building's violation history shows a pattern of responsive management, with most issues being resolved and few resulting in significant penalties.
