1329 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 10-unit, 6-story residential building at 1329 East 17th Street in Midwood, owned by Colin Mayers, has faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 2012. The most recent issue, reported in June 2025, involved plumbing problems with a basin/sink that HPD attempted to inspect but couldn't complete.

In early 2022, the building experienced significant water-related issues, including multiple heat/hot water complaints and water leak problems that were documented as violations, along with some unsanitary conditions related to mold. An apartment (5B) in the building received particular attention for active violations regarding hot water temperature and mold in February 2022. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints recorded, including a 2018 incident requiring immediate attention due to being non-operational, and more recent 2023 violations related to misalignment, communication issues, and maintenance requirements.

While the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations since 2019, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units, it did experience one violation related to bedbug reporting procedures in 2022. The property has also undergone regular rodent inspections, with passing results recorded in 2012, 2019, and most recently in 2023. Notably, there are several open violations as of 2022 related to required safety notices that need to be posted in the building, including those for smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures.
