2517 East 13th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 2517 East 13th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Svetlana Povroznik, was constructed in 1998 and has experienced several significant maintenance events over the past five years. Most notably, in July 2020, the building faced multiple complaints related to water issues, including damp spots and mold, as well as problems with paint and plaster on walls and ceilings.

These complaints were all investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued. The building has also had recurring administrative issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance; from 2020 to 2024, the property received multiple violations for failure to file annual bedbug reports, although recent filings from 2024 show zero infested units during the reporting period.

In July 2020, the building was cited for several safety notice requirements, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas, as well as a violation related to self-closing doors at the entrance to apartment 2A. All these violations were subsequently closed, with the 2020 notices being certified as corrected by October 2020. The most recent inspection records from 2023-2024 show no active violations, suggesting improved compliance with regulatory requirements.
