134 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
134 17th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by James Dimitriades. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular emphasis on unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and pest control. Between 2023-2025, there have been multiple complaints about garbage storage issues, with four separate complaints in early 2025 alone.
The building has also faced challenges with lighting, evidenced by a 2025 electric complaint regarding no lighting conditions. Water-related issues have been notable, with heavy flow water leak complaints in 2023 and 2020, though HPD was unable to access the premises for inspection in the most recent incident. The property has undergone several safety and maintenance improvements as evidenced by violation resolution dates, including the replacement of missing metal handrails at the front stoop in late 2023.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations were issued in April 2023 regarding doors and access control, including defective self-closing doors and illegal locking mechanisms, all of which have since been certified as corrected. The building's rodent situation appears to be chronic, with recent compliance inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, and multiple bait applications documented in early 2024. While the building had a bedbug infestation in 2020, official reports for the past three years (2021-2024) show no reported infestations, with the most recent filing in December 2024 indicating zero infested units. Two emergency complaints were filed in 2020 for mold and wall issues in the bathroom of apartment 1R, though these were subsequently addressed.
