AI summary · updated June 2026

At 1717 Bryant Avenue, a 6-story, 38-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jennifer Lau, several notable safety and maintenance issues have emerged over the past few years. Most concerning is an ongoing food poisoning complaint filed with DOHMH in May 2025, and an open elevator maintenance issue reported to HPD in February 2025. The building has experienced recurrent heating problems, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water during winter 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. There have also been significant mold issues, particularly affecting Apartment 53 on the 3rd floor, which received multiple violation notices in September 2024 regarding visible mold conditions on window casings and walls.

The property has a history of various maintenance challenges, including a series of violations related to the elevator system (with complaints filed in 2022, 2023, and most recently in January 2025 regarding no alternate service). Multiple complaints regarding sanitary conditions have been recorded, with noticeable mold problems documented in Apartments 4A and 53. The building's recent history also includes several instances of heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed and subsequently addressed, though similar problems continued to recur. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (as per annual reports), past records show some incidents between 2019-2022. The building has received violations for failure to display energy efficiency scores, with active violations dating back to 2021. Additionally, maintenance issues have included problems with paint/plaster conditions and fire escape access in January 2024, though these violations have since been closed.
