170 Tillary Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

170 Tillary Street is a 7-story, 46-unit commercial altered building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Tibor Hersko. The building has several pressing open violations, including three consecutive years (2022-2024) of failure to file annual bedbug reports, and multiple open violations related to energy efficiency reporting requirements under NYC Administrative Code sections 28-308.4 and 28-309.4, indicating ongoing non-compliance with mandatory energy benchmarking and inspection requirements. The property has a troubling history of safety and maintenance issues, particularly during 2020 when multiple violations were documented regarding scaffolding conditions, including an August 2020 violation for an unsafe sidewalk shed with defective conditions, which imposed penalties totaling $25,000.

Additionally, there was an elevator-related accident in June 2020, though no violation was warranted upon inspection. Recent concerns have included an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors in February 2023, though this was subsequently closed with a directive to the property management. The building has an outstanding critical examination report violation from 2022 related to exterior wall conditions with a $10,000 penalty.

The property has generally passed rodent inspections in 2013 and 2023, though there was a gas utility referral complaint from June 2021 where the inspector was unable to gain access. Recent permit activity shows two permits filed in July 2023 that are currently in process, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance or repair work. The building's documented history suggests persistent issues with both maintenance compliance and safety-related matters, particularly in the areas of energy reporting, pest management compliance, and scaffolding safety.
