Augrented Insights Report for 28 East 17th Street

The 17-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 28 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Efraim Lewy and constructed in 1931, has recently experienced several concerning issues that warrant attention. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple complaints including broken window guards, unsanitary garbage storage, and plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in late 2024 through early 2025, and unsanitary conditions related to pests and garbage that required HPD inspections.

Noteworthy building violations include an outstanding issue from September 2023 regarding accumulated refuse in the front yard and a May 2023 violation regarding a broken masonry stool at the entrance. The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with violations observed in 2023 related to inoperative smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 1C, along with a broken window guard violation from May 2023. Past records show a troubling history of pest issues, with 17 units reportedly infested in one bedbug report from 2020-2021, though subsequent filings in 2021 through 2025 show zero infested units.

Rat activity has been consistently documented between 2022 and 2023, with multiple bait applications and initial inspections indicating ongoing rodent issues, though a compliance inspection in January 2023 passed. The building's maintenance record shows several violations related to security and safety, including a missing bedbug report violation from April 2024 and multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2024-2025. While some issues have been promptly addressed, such as the recent window guard and garbage storage complaints being closed, the building continues to face challenges with various maintenance and safety systems that require ongoing attention.
