596 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The property at 596 17th Street in Windsor Terrace is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Joseph Mulle. The building experienced a notable heat and hot water outage in October 2018 affecting the entire building, which was resolved within two days according to HPD records.

Following this incident, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in October 2018, primarily relating to safety and emergency preparedness requirements in the first-story public hall. These included missing postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration number, as well as the need to display an annual bedbug report. Despite these violations, more recent records show significant improvement in the building's maintenance status, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024).

The building's current bedbug reporting history reflects consistent compliance, showing zero infested or eradicated units in the most recent four annual filings (2021-2024). The only violation on record that remains open pertains to the 2018 inspection, though several of the previously identified violations were closed following their documentation. The most recent inspection of the building was conducted in February 2022, and as of October 2023, there have been no additional complaints or violations reported, suggesting improved conditions since the 2018 incident.
