1963 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 1926 three-story, six-unit building at 1963 East 17th Street in Sheepshead Bay, currently owned by Francesco Palizzotto, has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in July 2024, the building faced several infrastructure issues requiring attention, including problems with plumbing (basin/sink and bathtub/shower), flooring/stairs, door, and refrigerator, with some violations documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections.

Apartment 3 has reported a cluster of specific maintenance needs, including defective ceramic tiles in the bathroom, door and cabinet issues, and a refrigeration problem, along with a concerning open violation regarding a key-operated lock on the fire escape. The building has also experienced persistent documentation issues, with active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file external low pressure inspections between 2018-2021 and annual boiler inspection reports for 2017.

While the building's bedbug and pest management history shows relatively good control measures, with no reported infestations in the most recent 2024 report and only one eradicated case in 2022, the recent maintenance violations suggest ongoing upkeep challenges. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections, with a passing result noted in 2011. The concentration of violations and service requests in July 2024, coupled with the failure to maintain proper inspection documentation, indicates potential deficiencies in building maintenance and regulatory compliance that have persisted into 2025.
