180 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 90-unit, 6-story building at 180 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Richard Gizzi and constructed in 1953, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations related to apartment 308 from September 2024, including water leak issues, broken subfloor in the kitchen, and problems with hallway ceiling conditions, along with ongoing concerns about infestation in multiple units. The building has faced persistent infrastructure challenges, with multiple reports of water leaks, flooring issues, and wall maintenance problems throughout 2024-2025, including recent HPD inspections in May 2025 that resulted in violations for flooring issues.
The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints between 2023-2025 regarding various malfunctioning components, though some violations from 2023-2024 have been resolved or dismissed. Recent inspections from 2024-2025 have noted multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, including two active Environmental Control Board violations related to facade maintenance and violation of safety codes, with associated penalties. The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with inspections showing rat activity between 2017 and 2024, though a March 2024 inspection passed.
Bedbug reports indicate variable infestation rates between 2017 and 2024, with zero reported cases in the most recent filings (2023-2024). The property has also faced regular issues requiring HPD intervention for various maintenance concerns, including plumbing, paint/plaster work, and unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints have been closed without violations being found. Current violations and active complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, while recent pest control reports indicate some stabilization in infestation rates.
