17 Tehama Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
17 Tehama Street is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Frances Frankel. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning unsanitary conditions and pest infestations. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about pests, including a July 2023 complaint that could not be inspected due to lack of access, and a September 2022 inspection that resulted in violations related to mold conditions.
The property has also faced heating system issues, with a February 2023 emergency complaint about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. The building's safety systems have been a concern, particularly during a September 2022 inspection that revealed several violations including defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and self-closing doors in Apartment 2R. Multiple Department of Buildings complaints regarding egress issues and potential illegal modifications were filed between 2019-2022, though inspections often resulted in "no violation warranted" outcomes or inability to gain access. The building's exterior has been subject to several structural inspections and violations, particularly concerning the brickwork and parapet condition.
In 2019, violations were issued for cracked and displaced masonry, with associated penalties totaling $4,087. While the building has a history of rodent-related complaints, recent data shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past five years. The property has undergone various maintenance inspections showing both violations and successful corrections, though some issues have persisted, such as a 2022 violation related to the building entrance door that remains open. Recent years have shown some improvement in compliance with pest-related violations, as evidenced by the 2024-2025 bedbug reporting period showing zero infested or eradicated units.
