Augrented Insights Report for 140 17th Street

140 17th Street is a 4-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Jay Silver and located in Sunset Park. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being recurrent plumbing problems in 2025 (May), heating system failures in 2024-2025, and persistent pest infestations in 2024. The property has documented multiple heat/hot water complaints, with system failures reported in both December 2024 and January 2025 affecting different areas of the building.

Additionally, there have been two separate pest-related incidents in 2024 (July and September) for which HPD inspections were either not completed or resulted in violations. The building's maintenance history shows various infrastructure and safety concerns being addressed over time, including roof work completed in 2022 and a reported illegal conversion investigation in 2022, though access was denied during inspection attempts. Notable violations include issues with the boiler system documented in November 2020, specifically regarding corrosion and improper door conditions, which resulted in a $625 penalty that was later resolved.

Recent inspections in 2024 identified several violations, including problems with kitchen tiles in Apartment 9, roach infestations in Apartments 9 and 19, and unsafe door conditions in the public hall. While the building has a history of maintenance challenges, it is worth noting that no bedbug infestations were reported in the past five years, and the most recent rodent inspection in 2018 resulted in a passing grade. The property has undergone various repairs and corrections to address violations, as evidenced by the certification dates indicating resolution of specific issues.
