The property at 1277-1281 17th Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, containing three units and owned by Robert Maestri. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring between 2007-2008, which included the enclosure of a first floor lightwell, addition of a half bath, storage remodeling, and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling approximately $35,000 in improvements.

Other notable renovations include a 2004 update to the 1279 unit's bathroom and kitchen, a 2003 horizontal addition replacing a rotting back porch and stairs, and window replacements valued at $30,000. An incident was reported in February 2009 regarding unauthorized construction work that allegedly affected neighboring properties and utilities, causing noise and access issues, though this complaint was quickly abated within two days. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a $2,000 reroofing project in 2007.

The most recent issue reported was in November 2023, concerning tree root damage to the sidewalk, which is currently under review by the Department of Public Works. The property has been subject to proper permitting for major works, with all completed permits showing satisfactory completion status, including extensive electrical upgrades (adding numerous outlets, switches, and lights) and comprehensive plumbing improvements throughout the building. The residential units have received various modernizations to improve facilities and infrastructure, including the installation of new skylights, gas furnace flue and duct work, and extensive lighting and electrical systems upgrades between 2003 and 2008.
