628 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
618 East 17th Street in Flatbush is a 47-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by John Touhey. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since late 2023, with documented complaints in December 2023, January 2024 (twice), and most recently in January 2025, though inspections often found the problem resolved by the time of inspection. Notably, in December 2023, the building received several violations related to mold conditions in apartment N24's bathroom, which were certified for correction in May 2024, and there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests, including plumbing, door/window problems, and multiple citations for unsanitary conditions.
The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding heating systems and mold issues. Previous violations from late 2022 indicated problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and hot water access in apartment S10, along with access issues to the heating system. The property has maintained good pest control records, with only one recorded bedbug infestation in late 2024 (with successful eradication), and has consistently passed initial rodent inspections dating back to 2014.
The building underwent inspections in February 2023 for various maintenance issues, including flooring, plumbing, and paint/plaster conditions, with no violations issued. While there have been complaints about locked exit doors and illegal conversions in past years, these were investigated and determined not to warrant violations. The most recent permit records from 2019 show an issued permit for work on the property, though details of the specific work performed are not available in the provided data.
