2846 West 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 3-story, 4-unit building at 2846 West 17th Street in Coney Island, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mohammad Ali, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024, including a building-wide outage in January 2024 and an apartment-specific issue in November 2023. The building has also faced electricity problems, with a power outage reported in October 2024, though HPD was unable to complete an inspection in response.

There are persistent structural concerns, as evidenced by a June 2023 violation regarding a collapsed ceiling and rusted steel frame on the first-floor balcony, which led to a temporary vacate order, though this was later rescinded. Additional maintenance issues include pest infestations, mold, sanitary conditions, and various repair needs in Apartment 1, which has open violations regarding water leaks, hot water temperature, and ceiling damage. The building's maintenance record shows recurring access issues for inspections, particularly during investigations of heat outages and pest problems in late 2023 and early 2024. Recent inspections and violations indicate ongoing challenges with building maintenance, including open violations from January 2024 regarding ceiling repair and hot water systems.

However, the building has successfully completed bedbug eradication in all units as of July 2025, with no current infestations reported. The property has undergone several inspections due to various complaints, including safety concerns about fire escape conditions and general building maintenance issues. While some violations have been resolved, including a 2024-06 deficiency regarding hot water temperature in Apartment 3F, there remain open violations as of October 2024 concerning household items cluttering the public halls on the first and third stories. The building's history also includes past complaints about illegal conversions and structural monitoring, suggesting ongoing attention to building safety and compliance matters.
