1217 70th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228

1217 70th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building located in Dyker Heights, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Emma Coccimiglio. The building has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being multiple open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, and active violations related to external low-pressure inspections in 2018, 2022, and 2021 that remain unresolved as of June 2023. The building has a documented history of safety concerns, particularly from December 2018, when multiple violations were issued including missing smoke detectors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, window repair needs, and issues with household items blocking public hallways.

Additionally, there was a heat and hot water complaint in December 2018, though this was resolved within two days. The building's most recent inspection in 2024 has resulted in an open violation regarding bedbug report compliance, adding to the pattern of unresolved safety and maintenance issues that has persisted for several years. The property has shown some attempts at maintenance compliance, with a July 2021 construction-related complaint being investigated but resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.

However, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violation and the multiple external low-pressure inspection violations suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance. Of particular note is the concentration of violations documented on December 11, 2018, which included safety equipment requirements and general maintenance issues affecting both individual units and common areas. While some of these violations may have been addressed since their initial issuance, as evidenced by their transition to open status, the building's overall record indicates a pattern of periodic maintenance and compliance challenges that have not been fully resolved.
