217 Manhattan Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11206
The four-story, nine-unit tenement building at 217 Manhattan Avenue, Williamsburg, owned by Rolando Ortiz and constructed in 1920, showcases several concerning issues as of 2025.
Most notably, there has been an ongoing failure to comply with required External Low-Pressure Inspection filings, with violations documented from 2018 through 2024, suggesting significant negligence regarding safety system maintenance. The building has also failed to file its Annual Boiler Inspection Report for 2017, which remains an active violation.
Recent tenant concerns are documented through a February 2023 heat and hot water complaint that resulted in an HPD inspection attempt, though access to the unit(s) was not granted, leading to the case's closure; this raises potential concerns about access and maintenance responsiveness. Additionally, the property has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, indicating possible ongoing pest management compliance issues.
