146 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

146 17th Street is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law tenement building in Sunset Park, built in 1910 and currently owned by Jordan Davis. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being a heat and hot water complaint in January 2025 that HPD could not investigate due to lack of access.

In late 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 4C, including issues with scalding hot water, broken window panes, mold, and a rodent infestation. The building has also had multiple 311 service requests in 2023 regarding flooring, stove appliances, and plumbing, though many of these inspections also faced access issues.

Significant concerns about building safety have emerged in recent years, particularly in late 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding fire escape safety, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, window panes, and pest issues. Historical records show more serious structural concerns in 2018, when the entrance stairs collapsed into the basement, leading to multiple Environmental Control Board violations. While there have been some building improvements and repairs documented through various permits, including several issued between 2018-2019, the pattern of repeated access issues during inspections and the frequency of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing challenges in building maintenance and resident communication.
