2860 West 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 2860 West 17th Street in Coney Island, owned by Justin Shi, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2022, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring between May and July 2022. During this period, multiple complaints were filed regarding paint/plaster issues on walls and ceilings, water leaks, and unsanitary mold conditions, particularly affecting Unit 1F where various violations were documented including problems with the door knob, plaster surfaces, and water leak in the bathroom ceiling. While many of these complaints were investigated and closed without violations, some did result in violations being issued.

More recently, inspections in July 2023 revealed several code violations that were subsequently certified as corrected, including requirements for carbon monoxide detector notices, maintenance of self-closing doors, and proper posting of heating system contact information in common areas. A potential fire safety issue was noted in 2022 regarding a missing shoe on a fire escape ladder, though this violation does not appear to have been confirmed upon inspection. The building's condition appears to have stabilized since 2022, with no recent major complaints or violations regarding structural or maintenance issues.

Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past four years, with all annual reporting periods (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, indicating effective pest management practices. An illegal after-hours work complaint was filed in May 2022, but this was investigated and found to warrant no violation. The most recent violation history shows primarily administrative issues that were promptly addressed, suggesting improved responsiveness to regulatory requirements by management. The multiple paint/plaster issues reported in 2022, while numerous, seem to have been addressed, as evidenced by the lack of similar complaints in recent years.
