130 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 130 17th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Yehya Alsahhqani, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most significant problems concentrated in apartment 2R. The building's recorded violations from October 2022 reveal a concerning pattern of maintenance challenges, including a roach infestation that required multiple violations to be issued, visible mold conditions in the bathroom ceiling, water damage issues, and problems with various building systems.

These violations included a mix of Class A, B, and C categories, indicating varying levels of severity, though most have since been closed. Notably, there were also safety-related violations in October 2022 regarding broken window hardware leading to the fire escape and damaged plaster surfaces and paint in the bathroom ceiling. More recent inspections from May 2023 confirmed the presence of roaches in apartment 2R, though this particular violation was subsequently closed.

The building's recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 show no evidence of infestation during those periods, with all reports indicating zero infested or eradicated units. The most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 continues this trend of no recorded infestations. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly concentrated in apartment 2R, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the closure of many previous violations suggests some progress in addressing building conditions, though potential concerns remain regarding the history of pest control issues and other maintenance challenges.
