205 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 6-story, 54-unit building at 205 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by Moshe Piller, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since 2022. Most concerning are the persistent elevator issues, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2023-2025, including an active complaint from March 2025. The building has also faced heating and hot water system problems, particularly in April 2025 when multiple complaints were filed, some of which resulted in violations.
Other maintenance concerns include various electrical issues (wiring and outlet problems), water leaks, and ceiling damage reported in 2025, though inspections generally found these issues did not violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history shows both routine and emergency violations. In December 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 506, including issues with bathroom tiles, plaster surfaces, water closet connections, window functionality, and missing safety devices.
Apartment 108 was found to have lead paint hazards, peeling paint, and water leak problems in late 2024. The building has a documented history of rat activity, with inspections in early 2024 confirming this as a persistent issue. While there have been various environmental control board violations related to elevator issues and safety devices, most have been resolved, though the building currently has active violations for failing to submit required inspection reports for external maintenance and low pressure systems in 2023-2024.
