2523 West 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 2523 West 17th Street in Gravesend, owned by Hanna Lesicka, has experienced significant heating system issues in early 2025, with two separate complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting both the entire building and individual apartments in early February. These complaints were resolved relatively quickly, with HPD confirming restoration of services, though the recurring nature of heating problems is noteworthy.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showing no infested units, following a period in 2020-2021 when all three units reported infestations and subsequent successful eradications. Earlier structural issues were documented in 2018, including multiple violations related to defective concrete and masonry treads on the front steps, with at least three separate violations recorded in April 2018 alone.

These violations were of varying severity, including Class B (immediate repair required) and Class C (serious condition requiring attention). A water accumulation issue in the cellar area was documented in March 2018, though this violation was subsequently resolved. While the building's recent bedbug reports show no current infestations, the heating system problems in 2025 and the earlier structural issues in 2018 suggest periodic maintenance challenges.
