2617 Avenue D, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 2617 Avenue D in Flatbush, owned by Joel Jacob, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues since 2018, with the most recent complaints indicating ongoing problems. The building has documented concerns about water leakage, heating systems, and door functionality, with notable incidents including a 2024 complaint about an electric/gas range that could not be inspected due to lack of access, and a 2022-2023 complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that was inspected with no violations found.

Multiple violations were issued in December 2023 related to door conditions, including defective self-closing doors at the vestibule entrance and in apartment 2R, as well as a requirement to repair damaged exterior brick on the south wall at the second story. The property has a history of water-related issues, particularly during 2019 when multiple complaints about heat/hot water systems were filed, some resulting in violations. There were also significant concerns about water leakage affecting multiple areas, including the kitchen and public hall ceilings.

While there have been several complaints about plumbing and sanitation conditions, most were either closed without violations or due to inability to gain access for inspection. The building's maintenance history also shows regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 to 2024, with no reported infestations in the past three filing periods. Two complaints regarding potential illegal conversions were filed (in 2022 and 2023), but inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts.
