2869 West 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11224

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 2869 West 17th Street in Coney Island, owned by Evgeny Freidman, has a significant history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back several years. Most concerning are the multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all relating to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD rules.

The building also currently faces multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failing to file required external low-pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2023, along with a violation for not filing the 2017 boiler inspection report issued in November 2019. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of pest management challenges, particularly between 2016-2018, when multiple rodent inspections revealed rat activity, leading to repeated baiting interventions.

However, a recent inspection in January 2025 passed without issues, suggesting some improvement in this regard. There was one electrical wiring complaint in February 2023 that was closed after being referred to the Department of Transportation, though it's unclear how this relates to the building's electrical systems. While the property has shown some progress in recent years, with fewer pest issues being reported in the past few years, the outstanding violations related to inspection filings indicate ongoing compliance challenges that affect basic building safety and maintenance standards.
