1217 Gilbert Place is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Shay Alon. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly in the past 18 months. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints about both pests and mold, resulting in HPD violations.

In February 2024, multiple violations were noted including pests, mold, and plumbing issues affecting basins, sinks, bathtubs/showers, and radiators. The building has also had significant safety concerns, including a sprinkler system issue in February 2024 that was investigated but not cited for violations. The property has undergone several inspections and violations have been documented, particularly during 2024, when issues with the building's public hall lighting systems and self-closing doors were identified.

Apartment 1R has experienced multiple problems including plumbing issues, water leaks, and pest infestations, though these violations were subsequently closed. While the building's recent rodent inspections from 2022 through 2025 have generally passed, there were documented rat activity findings in late 2020 and 2021, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges. Notably, the building has consistently reported no bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings from 2021 to 2024, indicating effective management of this specific pest issue.
