236 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 7-story, 17-unit residential building at 236 17th Street in Sunset Park, owned by Divya Rashad, was constructed in 2015 and has experienced several notable incidents over its history. Recent years (2022-2025) have shown the building facing some regulatory compliance challenges, particularly with overdue benchmarking and FISP reporting requirements, though one benchmarking violation was dismissed in August 2024 upon confirmation of submission. The building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, showing zero cases reported in the past six consecutive annual reports from 2019 through 2024.

The property has experienced multiple complaints and violations relating to elevator safety and maintenance between 2021 and 2024, including an active ECB violation (as of 2021) for inoperative elevator components and maintenance issues. There have been several complaints about unauthorized work and illegal conversions, particularly between 2021 and 2023, though most were closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. A particularly concerning incident occurred in September 2021 when an elevator-related complaint resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

The building's construction phase (2019) prompted two complaints about site conditions and permits, but inspections found no violations. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a satisfactory rodent inspection record, passing all inspections conducted in 2016 and 2018. The property's most recent records suggest improved compliance with pest management protocols, as evidenced by the consistent zero infestation reports in recent years.
