1717 62nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

The two-story, 4-unit residential building at 1717 62nd Street in Borough Park, owned by Maria Capitummino and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, has a concerning pattern of housing maintenance code violations over the past four years.

From 2021 through 2024, the building has received four consecutive Class A violations related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with HPD, and as of 2024, one of these violations remains open. The property has also experienced multiple complaints to the Department of Buildings, including three incidents between 2019-2021 involving illegal conversions, unpermitted work, and unauthorized after-hours construction, though these complaints were ultimately closed without findings of violations due to inspectors' inability to gain access.

In terms of permitted work, there are two permits on record from February 2020 related to electrical work (permit type EW, job number 321976368), both of which were issued, suggesting some legitimate maintenance or improvement work was undertaken during that period. While the building has maintained basic compliance with permit requirements, the repeated bedbug report violations and history of access-related complaint investigations indicate ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and potential resident concerns, particularly regarding pest management protocols.
