1577 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-story, 80-unit residential building at 1577 East 17th Street in Midwood, owned by Ashley Schloemer, has experienced persistent heating system issues over the past three years, with multiple complaints of building-wide heat and hot water outages recorded between 2022 and 2024. Most recently, from December 2023 through February 2024, there were several emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems, with violations issued in December 2023.

The building has also faced significant safety concerns, particularly regarding its parking garage, with active violations from September 2024 noting concrete spalling and exposed rebar conditions that resulted in a partial vacate order for the garage. This structure has accumulated multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with self-closing doors that were documented in February 2024, along with carbon monoxide detector deficiencies in apartment 7F noted in December 2023. The property has maintained a record of bedbug and rodent-free status, with no infestations reported in recent years through the bedbug reporting system, and inspections between 2016-2018 showing passing results for rodent inspections.

There have been recent complaints regarding elevator service, with an October 2024 complaint about no alternate service, though this was found to have no violations at inspection. While the building has seen various complaints over the years, including those related to construction work and general maintenance, many of these have been closed with no violations or resolved conditions. The parking garage structural issues, however, represent the most significant current concern, with both an active ECB violation related to public safety and a substantial penalty imposed in November 2024.
