7422 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11204

7422 17th Avenue is a 4-story, 21-unit residential building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1921 and classified as a New Law Tenement. The property, currently owned by Eleftherios Ypsilantis, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system failures throughout 2022 and 2023.

Most notably, there were seven separate incidents of heat/hot water complaints between February and November 2023, with documented responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) confirming temporary restorations of service. The building has also had three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to self-closing doors in 2022, specifically concerning issues with the roof bulkhead and first-story entrance door, though these violations were subsequently closed.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past eight reporting periods from 2018 through 2025, with all reported units showing zero infestation counts. While the heat and hot water service issues represent the most significant recurring concern, the building's compliance with pest control regulations suggests effective management in that regard. The property is currently in compliance with recent bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in January 2025 showing no infestation activity during the previous reporting period.
