8682 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 8682 17th Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Mehmed Mutlu and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. The most concerning violations occurred in 2021, when multiple issues were documented during a July inspection, including problems with self-closing doors at both the building entrance and vestibule, a defective lockset at the front door, and cleanliness issues in the first-story public hall areas.

That same year, there were also violations related to carbon monoxide detector notice requirements. A more recent inspection in 2022 resulted in a violation for not filing the annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings show zero infested or re-infested units from 2021 through the present, suggesting this issue has been resolved. The building's recent history includes a complaint filed in June 2023 regarding an alleged illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their second and final attempt in September 2023.

The property has maintained a clean rodent history, passing its only rodent inspection in November 2009. The owner has demonstrated responsiveness to violations requiring certification, as evidenced by multiple dates showing completed corrections between April and August 2021, though some violations remained open until certified. The bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance since 2021, with no reported infestations in the most recent filings from 2023 and 2024 covering the previous October 31 periods.
