17 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 24-unit, 4-story apartment building at 17 Menahan Street in Bushwick, owned by Kre Bklyner 23 Menahan LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2020-2022. There were multiple heating and hot water complaints, particularly concerning the system's reliability in December 2020 (when violations were issued), and earlier incidents in April and November 2022. An electrical wiring complaint was filed in June 2023 and again in May 2024, though the 2024 incident was resolved within three days.

The building has also faced issues with doors and windows, including a May 2024 emergency complaint that was quickly resolved. Significant maintenance concerns from late 2020 included violations regarding radiator plumbing and mold in floors, both of which were officially closed but represent historical environmental quality concerns. The property has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with annual filings showing no instances of infestation or re-infestation between 2019 and 2025.

Recent inspections, showing consistent compliance, include rodent control inspections from 2019 through 2025, all of which passed. Current violations as of April 2024 include a concern about a fire door in stair A on the 2nd story that remains open, though previous violations regarding improperly-installed door closers in various locations have been addressed. The building's maintenance history suggests attention to basic infrastructure needs, with most emergency complaints being addressed within reasonable timeframes, though some issues, particularly related to heating systems, have required multiple interventions. While the property had a cluster of issues between 2020-2022, the recent history from 2023-2025 shows improved responsiveness to maintenance requests, and the building has maintained both a stable rodent control record and consistent bedbug management practices.
