Augrented Insights Report for 191 East 17th Street

191 East 17th Street in Flatbush is a 6-story, 47-unit residential building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Mendl Berger. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent complaints in early 2025 involving water leaks and mold issues that resulted in issued violations.

There is a concerning pattern of maintenance problems, particularly in 2024, when multiple violations were documented between May and September, including issues with safety equipment (carbon monoxide and smoke detectors), window and door frames, and water-related maintenance. Of particular note is the building's persistent elevator safety compliance history, with violations recorded in both 2018 and 2024 regarding self-closing doors and safety devices, though recent complaints from early 2024 regarding elevator service were found to warrant no violations at inspection. The building's environmental controls have shown mixed results, with rodent inspections in 2022 and 2023 passing, but multiple instances of rat activity requiring bait application were recorded in 2020.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, recent safety violations related to door frames, window frames, and various safety equipment suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property currently has several active violations, including an open Class C violation from September 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at building entrances and compactor areas, and another open violation regarding failure to display energy efficiency scores. The building's maintenance history indicates a need for ongoing attention to basic building systems and safety equipment, though specific historical context for improvements or changes is not readily available from the provided data.
