171 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, NY 11217
The four-story, three-unit tenement building at 171 Ashland Place in Fort Greene, owned by 171 Ashland Place Realty Inc., has faced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there is an active pattern of Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2024, with no compliance resolution noted. Between 2022 and 2024, the building received multiple serious violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB) regarding exterior maintenance issues, including deteriorating brickwork, damaged chimney joints, and unsafe window conditions, with penalties totaling $6,875.
Two recent violations issued in 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections remain active as of September 2024. The building's safety concerns extended to emergency work orders in 2022 requiring immediate installation of sidewalk sheds due to hazardous conditions. Historical records show the building has a history of rodent issues, with an initial inspection in 2013 revealing rat activity, though subsequent inspections that same year passed.
More recently, in 2021-2024, there was a food establishment-related complaint about rodents/insects/garbage, which was closed in 2024. Two building complaints from 2022 were recorded, including one about excessive debris (no violation found) and another about failure to maintain (violation served). While some violations have been resolved, as evidenced by the 2022 sidewalk shed installation compliance, many active violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident quality of life.
