555 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, six-unit OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 555 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Peter Chernoff and constructed in 1931, has encountered several significant pest-related issues in recent years.
Most notably, there have been multiple documented rodent-related incidents in 2024, including three rat sightings in July 2024 that attracted Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) attention, with inspections in August 2024 confirming rat activity at the property. These recent rodent issues follow a concerning pattern of violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with the building receiving four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations (in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by HPD rules.
While all these violations are classified as "Class A," indicating they have the potential to affect resident safety or habitability, it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting violations are administrative in nature. All the documented violations remain open as of 2024, suggesting ongoing oversight concerns related to pest management at this property.
