225 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 225 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Mohammad Jamil, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, over the past two years. Most recently, in December 2024, there were emergency heat and hot water complaints, and while the issues were temporarily resolved during inspections, they indicated ongoing concerns with the building's heating infrastructure.
The building has also faced several safety and maintenance citations, including active violations as of December 2024 for failing to maintain proper gas leak procedures and housing information notices in common areas, as well as a violation regarding obstructed fire escape egress from the 3rd story balcony. The property has a documented history of moisture-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints between 2023-2024, including a significant mold issue reported in July 2024 in apartment 6G. Recent inspections in March 2025 revealed multiple emergency safety concerns, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as several door-related problems.
The building's management has faced scrutiny for regulatory compliance, with active violations related to the failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2018-2020, and issues with bedbug reporting requirements. An environmental control board violation from January 2024, currently active with a penalty of $3,125, cites failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, specifically regarding detached felt/tar paper at the top of the parapet level. The property has also been subject to rodent inspections, with confirmed rat activity noted in August 2024 and December 2020, though it passed inspection in January 2018.
