Augrented Insights Report for 187 17th Street

The 4-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building at 187 17th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Joseph Rabinovich and constructed in 1905, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints related to water supply issues and loss of heat/hot water throughout the building, with inspections by HPD being either partially completed or not completed due to access issues.

The building currently has three open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2022-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports as required. A vehicle impact incident occurred in June 2021, resulting in a building violation related to structural stability concerns, though was resolved within one day. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with inspections in 2012 showing initial rat activity, though subsequent compliance inspections indicated passing results.

While there were two sidewalk shed/scaffold complaints in 2023, both were deemed not warranting any violations at the time of inspection. The building's bedbug reports from 2019-2021 show no infested units during the reporting periods, though the open violations suggest potential administrative oversights in reporting compliance. The recent water supply and heating issues in early 2025 represent the most pressing current concerns, though these were reportedly resolved quickly according to HPD records.
