222 Duffield Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

The 25-story building at 222 Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn, owned by Ray Mannon, has experienced multiple maintenance and health-related issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2025, there were complaints regarding both pool maintenance and pest issues, as well as two separate food establishment complaints involving rodents and insects.

The building has a concerning pattern of heating issues, with emergency complaints recorded in both December 2024 and January 2025 when HPD inspectors were unable to complete their inspections. The property has also faced challenges with pest control, evidenced by unsanitary conditions complaints in 2025 and a bedbug report for the period ending October 2024, indicating one unit was infested and subsequently treated. Looking at the building's history, there have been recurring issues with pest management, as shown by multiple bedbug infestation reports from 2021 to 2024, and a significant bedbug reporting violation issued in 2021.

On the regulatory side, there was an Environmental Control Board violation in 2018 related to submitting the required exterior wall condition report, which incurred a $1,250 penalty. However, the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2022 and 2013, and while the Department of Health has issued some violations, most recent complaints have been resolved without significant penalties. The building's food establishment inspection history shows periodic issues requiring HPD's involvement, and while recent health department investigations have found some violations, notably in 2025 regarding the pool facility, these have been classified as minor without requiring follow-up inspections.
