545 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 545 17th Street in Windsor Terrace, owned by Carl Mo and built in 1960, has experienced several significant events since 2020 that warrant attention. In March 2020, the building faced multiple emergency service requests related to cooking gas and heat/hot water issues, with HPD inspections unable to gain access to affected apartments. Notably, during this period, the building received multiple violations from the Department of Buildings regarding illegal gas installations, including gas piping for boilers, hot water heaters, stoves, and dryers, with one violation carrying a $2,500 penalty.
Other serious violations from March 2020 included open-ended gas lines, unauthorized construction work, and failure to maintain proper safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements. These violations were eventually resolved, with some being downgraded from immediately hazardous status. The building's regulatory history shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020 through 2024, with no reported infestations. More recent inspections and complaint records indicate improved access for building inspections, though there were still multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to units in 2020.
A plumbing-related complaint from 2021 was investigated but found no violations. The property also received a local law audit inspection in November 2020 which resulted in compliance verification. The most recent bedbug report for the filing period of 2022-2023 (filed in March 2024) shows no infestation history, maintaining a clean record since March 2020. A permit for work was issued in July 2020, indicating some level of regulatory compliance in obtaining necessary approvals for building modifications.
