8754 17th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8754 17th Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1914, currently owned by Salomon Wanouno and located in Bath Beach. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent complaint in July 2024 related to pest issues, which was closed without violations. A notable cluster of plumbing and water-related problems emerged between late 2023 and early 2024, including multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow) and radiator issues, though inspections found no violations.

The building has documented issues with sanitation, including a mold problem in October 2023 that resulted in violations, and another pest-related complaint in November 2023. Electrical concerns were reported in July 2023, including power outage and wiring issues, which were also closed without violations. Recent safety compliance inspections in 2024 revealed multiple fire safety deficiencies, with violations issued in July for missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 1A, 1B, and C3.

There are open violations from May 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors in apartments D4 and 2B, as well as issues with the roof bulkhead door. The building's exterior condition has raised concerns, with a November 2023 Department of Buildings inspection documenting façade disrepair, including cracked stucco and damaged bricks, which prompted an Environmental Control Board violation. Additionally, there is an active DOB violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled annual boiler inspection report. However, the building has maintained a pest-free record in recent years, with no documented bedbug cases since 2019, and passed a rodent inspection in July 2014.
