35 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 20-unit tenement building at 35 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by 39 Kgs LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months (2024-2025). Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heating and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent complaint filed in February 2025. The building has an ongoing issue with water-related problems, including eight water-related complaints between February 2025 and April 2025, some of which resulted in violations.

Multiple service requests went unanswered by tenants between February 14, 2025, and April 17, 2025, including complaints about flooring, walls, doors, and appliances. The building's violation history shows a mix of resolved and unresolved issues, including open Class C violations as of December 2024 related to hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 19, and a requirement to abate water leak issues in Apartment 219. The property has undergone regular rodent control measures, with records showing bait application in 2025 and evidence of rat activity in multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025.

While bedbug infestations have been documented in previous years, there have been no reported cases in the last four filing periods (2019-2024). Recent inspections have revealed various maintenance violations, including issues with self-closing doors, latches, and heating system access, though many of these have been marked as resolved through proper certification. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with water systems and pest control, while also demonstrating some responsiveness to address violations when cited.
