17 South Oxford Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217
This four-story, ten-unit residential building at 17 South Oxford Street in Fort Greene, built in 1871 and currently owned by Nathan Siony, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly in recent months. Most notably, in October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though these were eventually closed after inspections confirmed restoration of services. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with similar complaints recorded in 2022, 2021, and 2024, indicating a persistent issue with building-wide temperature control.
There have also been several radiator-related plumbing complaints between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges with the building's heating infrastructure. In addition to HVAC concerns, the building has faced pest management challenges, particularly in 2021 when violations were issued regarding a mouse infestation in Apartment 6, as well as previous incidents in 2020-2021 requiring bait application. The property showed temporary rodent activity in 2020, though it has since maintained a clean record with respect to rat inspections.
While the building has had multiple violations and complaints, many have been resolved through inspections and repairs. Recent filings demonstrate no active pest or bedbug issues, with the most recent bedbug report (2024-2025) showing zero infested units. The building's management has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding bedbug reporting compliance, receiving violations for failure to file proper reports in 2022 and 2023, though these issues appear to have been resolved in subsequent reporting periods. The property currently has one active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection report.
