477 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, 7-unit New Law Tenement building at 477 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Windsor Terrace HDFc, has been standing since 1931 and has experienced a few notable maintenance issues over the past few years. Most significantly, in October 2021, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage that required HPD intervention, though the issue was reportedly resolved within days.

Earlier that year, in April 2021, there was an emergency complaint regarding unsanitary sewage conditions, which was investigated but resulted in no violations. The building has been cited for two administrative violations: in April 2021 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report (though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 show no infestations) and in October 2021 for not properly posting the Housing Information Guide notice in English and Spanish, which was certified as corrected in January 2022.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods (2020-2024), with zero reported cases, and passed a rodent inspection in June 2018. These records suggest that while the building has experienced some temporary heat and sanitation issues, it has maintained a stable environment in terms of pest control and basic building hygiene.
