17 Avenue S, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The two-story, two-unit residential building at 17 Avenue S in Gravesend, constructed in 1932 and currently owned by Senad Hadzimusovic, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring problems with heat and hot water, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in March 2025 regarding no heat or hot water in the entire building, though this was resolved within 24 hours.

The building has also faced multiple water-related issues, including three separate complaints between 2024-2025 - a slow leak in October 2024, a damp spot in July 2024, and most recently, a heavy flow water leak in June 2025, all of which were addressed, though some with open violations remaining. The building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2023, including issues with a self-closing door and water leak in the first-floor apartment (FIRSTF), and multiple maintenance concerns in the 1STFLO apartment, including peeling paint, water leaks, broken plaster surfaces, and defective kitchen faucet.

The property has maintained good pest control records, with three annual bedbug reports showing zero infested units between 2021-2025, with the most recent filing in May 2025 covering the previous period of November 2023 - October 2024. While the building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding water systems and interior maintenance, the management has generally responded to complaints, though some violations remain unresolved.
