Augrented Insights Report for 557 17th Street

The three-story, five-unit building at 557 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by David Cohen, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most concerning are multiple recent violations and complaints regarding unauthorized construction work, particularly in 2024-2025, including a July 2024 ECB violation for "Work Without Permit" involving new electrical installations throughout the first floor, for which a penalty of $2,530 was imposed. There were also three related ECB violations in July 2024 regarding failure to provide proper construction documents and maintaining a code-compliant environment, including issues with construction debris obstructing fire escape paths.

The building experienced recurring inspection requirements under Local Law 188/17 during 2023-2024, with several inspections showing either no violations or requiring compliance actions. The property has documented various safety and maintenance concerns over the years, including an indoor air quality complaint in February 2025 regarding dust from construction, and historical violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2022, though recent filings (2022-2024) show no confirmed infestations. A bedbug reporting violation notice was issued in February 2022, although it was certified as corrected in May 2021.

The building has maintained an active compliance record for bedbug reporting since 2021, with all recent filings showing zero infested units. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were two stop-work orders issued in summer 2020 for unauthorized construction activities in violation of emergency orders, though these were subsequently rescinded. The most recent 311 complaint regarding indoor air quality in February 2025 resulted in the owner receiving an advisory to correct the condition.
