8647 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The two-story, three-unit residential building at 8647 17th Avenue in Bath Beach, currently owned by Gie Yi Liu, has faced recurring maintenance issues since its 1901 construction. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system problems, with the most recent complaint in April 2025 affecting the entire building, while previous incidents in 2021 and 2020 involved individual apartments.
The building has a documented history of rodent sightings, with complaints reported in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022, though recent inspections in 2022 and 2021 passed without major violations, and the most recent inspection in 2024 showed no recent infestations according to the 2025 bedbug filing showing zero units affected. The property has also experienced administrative compliance issues, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report.
Two historical complaints about potential illegal conversions were filed in 2019 and 2024, but in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained basic habitability according to inspection results, though the recurring heating system issues and historical rodent problems suggest attention to building systems and pest management remains necessary. The most recent documented violation related to heating systems shows the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was again unable to gain access to the building for inspection in April 2025.
