217 India Street, Brooklyn, NY 11222

217 India Street is a 3-story, 6-unit old law tenement building built in 1931, currently owned by Ofir Kahati and located in Greenpoint. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most recent being a heat and hot water complaint in October 2023 that could not be inspected by HPD due to access issues. A significant cluster of violations and complaints was documented in September 2022, including issues with doors, windows, ceilings, walls, flooring, and unsanitary conditions (mold), all of which received violations.

The building underwent facade repairs in late 2022 through ADCO Builders Corp, which resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to scaffolding safety, worker training compliance, and debris management, though these have been resolved. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug control measures, with no reported infestations since 2019. Inspection records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly during the 2022 period when multiple violations were issued for various maintenance issues, including problems with the intercom system, door/window functionality, and various surface conditions (wall, ceiling, floor).

There were also safety concerns recorded in 2022 regarding a fire escape violation, and multiple tenant safety inspections were conducted, though most resulted in no violations being found or were fully rescinded. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring repeated inspections and having various emergency and non-emergency complaints filed, though many of these have been successfully closed after appropriate repairs or actions were taken. The most recent bedbug report from December 2023 indicates zero units affected during the reporting period.
