125 Bay 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

125 Bay 17th Street, a 2-story, 3-unit residential building constructed in 1910 in Bath Beach, is currently owned by Vito Polizzi and classified as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several notable issues over the past few years, with the most significant being an unresolved building code violation from 2021-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under NYC Housing Maintenance Code.

Additionally, in September 2023, a Partial Stop Work Order was issued for unauthorized construction work involving the enclosure of an existing rear open porch, leading to an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $6,250 penalty. The building has faced multiple maintenance challenges, particularly in 2019, when there were several reports of pest-related sanitary conditions that HPD inspectors were unable to access for verification. These complaints were followed by two rodent sighting reports in January 2019, though a rodent inspection conducted in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade.

More recently, in January 2021, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though records indicate these services were restored shortly thereafter. The property has maintained an active violation record regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, with no certified resolution to date. The building's most recent major incident was the September 2023 violation for unpermitted construction work, which remains active as of the current date.
