615 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 6-story, 16-unit building at 615 East 17th Street in Flatbush, owned by DG 615 E 17 LLC, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events over the past decade. Most recently, in 2024, there were reports of rodent-related issues and unsanitary sewage conditions, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and Housing Preservation and Development found no violations. A heat and hot water outage was reported and quickly resolved in November 2020.

The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting system for the past several years, with all annual submissions showing zero infested units. Significant violations and complaints include three consecutive annual bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2023, and active violations for failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low pressure inspections as of June 2023. In 2018, multiple construction-related complaints were filed regarding building stability and unauthorized work, though inspections found no substantiated violations.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, with documented violations from 1989-2019 including problems with apartments 1L and 2L regarding plaster surfaces, bathroom ceilings, and various fixture repairs, all of which were resolved. More recent complaints have been addressed through proper channels, and the building has an acceptable record of responding to violations, with most being dismissed or resolved promptly. The current status of the building shows regular maintenance compliance, though the active violation for failure to file pressure inspections warrants attention.
