23 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, 16-unit residential building at 23 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Shawn Andrew, has had several notable events since its construction in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. Most recently, in April 2023, there was a verified pest-related complaint that remained open until February 2024, though this was one of only two such complaints in recent years.

The building underwent an important safety compliance inspection in November 2021, which resulted in multiple violations related to safety postings, including requirements for gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector information, and lead paint hazard notifications. Four of these violations were resolved by February 2022, though two related to lead paint (one for failure to notify occupants and another for not providing required records) remained open as of that inspection period. The building's maintenance history shows generally good upkeep in recent years, with annual bedbug reports filed between 2021-2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units during each reporting period.

Rodent inspections in 2018 and most recently in February 2024 both resulted in passing grades. The property's documented history suggests that while there have been some compliance and maintenance issues, particularly regarding lead paint notifications and safety postings, most have been addressed promptly, with the exception of some persisting lead-related violations. The building's age and status as a New Law Tenement class structure indicate it is subject to specific regulatory requirements that are being monitored and addressed through routine inspections and reporting requirements.
