17 Ocean Court, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 17 Ocean Court in Gravesend, owned by Izak Serieh, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The property, built in 1940 and currently classified as CLASS A, had multiple emergency complaints in 2019 related to safety systems, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, as well as plumbing issues such as toilet problems and window guard concerns. These issues triggered both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, all of which were closed without violations being issued.

The building has maintained an active record regarding bedbug reporting, with annual filings from 2021 through 2024, showing no current infestations or eradication needs as of the latest report in July 2024. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 noted violations regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these were classified as Class A violations. A Department of Buildings complaint from July 2019 regarding potential illegal conversion was closed due to no access during the inspection.

Building violations from 2019 specifically documented issues in apartment 2R, including problems with doors, windows, electrical systems, and plumbing fixtures, though all these violations were subsequently closed. While the frequency of complaints and violations in 2019 suggests a period of maintenance challenges, it's notable that the most recent bedbug report and violations indicate improved overall conditions. The building's history shows responsiveness to maintenance issues, with most complaints and violations being addressed and closed through appropriate channels, though some historical concerns related to safety systems and basic infrastructure were prominent during the 2019-2020 period.
