Augrented Insights Report for 61 East 17th Street

The four-story apartment building at 61 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Raphael Lipschitz, has experienced several significant maintenance and habitability issues since 2024, with the most recent problems occurring in mid-2025. The building has faced persistent challenges with pest control, including documented bedbug infestations in multiple units through 2024-2025, and ongoing rodent issues requiring baiting and treatment as recent as February 2024.

Housing Maintenance Code violations reveal concerning conditions, particularly in apartment 3B, where issues with windows, cabinets, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical fixtures were documented and required correction throughout 2024. Recent inspections (April 2025) led to violations being issued for cabinet problems, though other flooring and window complaints were found not to violate housing laws. More recent emergency complaints from June 2025 include water leaks, ceiling issues, and mold problems.

The building has a history of access issues during inspections, particularly in late 2024, when multiple complaints about windows, flooring, cabinets, and pests could not be properly assessed due to tenant access restrictions. An active Department of Buildings violation from December 2021 remains open regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. While some violations from 2024 were resolved by August 2024, including various maintenance issues in 3B, the building continues to exhibit ongoing maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
