2049 East 17th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 16-unit, 4-story residential building at 2049 East 17th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Yusuf Bildirici, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in December 2023, there were emergency complaints regarding heating issues in apartments (though heat was reportedly restored), and multiple violations were documented, including problems with self-closing doors on the first story and in the north yard, as well as issues with mold, ceiling damage, and water leaks.

Notable violations were also found in December 2023 regarding a defective carbon monoxide detector, various ceiling and wall conditions requiring repairs, and multiple self-closing door issues affecting both common areas and individual units. Throughout 2023, the building had recurring problems with water leaks, floor conditions, and plumbing issues, with multiple complaints filed and some resulting in violations.

Of particular concern are the persistent heating and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in both November and December 2023. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual filings since 2019 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. While many of the recent complaints have been resolved, including several classified as emergencies, the frequency and nature of the maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and systems management.
