172 Utica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11213
172 Utica Avenue is a three-story, three-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Aharon Silber, located in Crown Heights. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the years, most notably in 2015 when numerous violations were documented in Apartment 1 including problems with the bathroom medicine cabinet, bathroom wash basin, loose wood flooring, electrical switch and outlet covers, and kitchen sink countertop security. These violations were resolved by March 2023.
More recently, the building faced an Environmental Control Board violation in October 2023 regarding unauthorized electrical work and improper installation of three condenser units within the shaftway area, which was resolved with no penalties. The property has maintained a clear record of bedbug-related issues since 2019, with all six annual reports (2019-2025) showing zero infested or re-infested units, and the most recent report for filing period 2024-2025 from January 2025 indicates complete compliance with the annual bedbug reporting requirement. The building has experienced several Department of Buildings complaints relating to unauthorized work and occupancy concerns between 2020-2023, though in each instance, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.
A 311 service request from October 2019 regarding a food establishment construction issue was addressed and closed in June 2024. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, most have been addressed and resolved, with particular attention to bedbug monitoring and reporting requirements being consistently maintained. The most recent building activity primarily pertains to the electrical system and shaftway maintenance as evidenced by the 2023 ECB violation.
