327 East 17th Street, Manhattan, NY 10003
The 6-story building at 327 East 17th Street in Gramercy, owned by Thomas Ahn, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its conversion to a Class B facility in 1992. Most notably, there are current open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024, though the building's bedbug reports for the periods from 2019 to 2023 show no documented infestations. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with varying results including rat activity noted in 2022, though recent inspections in 2023 and 2025 have passed.
A concerning pattern emerged between 2018-2019 with multiple violations related to building systems, including problems with electrical wiring, defective plumbing, and an inadequate sprinkler system, all of which received Oath Violations. The elevator system has been another area of concern, with violations recorded in 2019 and 2018 regarding single device operation and maintenance issues, though these have since been resolved. The building has experienced two documented rat sightings in 2019 and 2025, with the most recent incident in June 2025 being investigated but showing no violations.
Infrastructure maintenance appears to be a recurring challenge, with violations spanning several years related to various systems, including electrical equipment maintenance, plumbing issues, and the need for proper space around electrical equipment. The property's inspection history shows a mix of compliance and failure to comply with various regulatory requirements, including an active DOB violation from September 2020 regarding failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous violation. While recent inspections have generally shown improvement in rodent control (with passing results in 2023 and 2025), the building's history suggests ongoing attention to maintenance and compliance requirements has been necessary, particularly regarding building systems and pest management.
