222 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201

222 Clinton Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, owned by Leon Szlezinger and constructed in 1900.

The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2023, with three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in March 2023, February 2022, and April 2021, all related to the failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug reports with the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Notably, these violations occurred during a period when the building was apparently experiencing no actual bedbug infestations, as documented in official filings - the recent May 2025 report confirmed zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and no re-infested units for the 2023-2024 period, while previous reports from 2024 and 2021 also indicated no bedbug activity for the respective periods (2022-2023 and 2019-2020).

An unrelated incident occurred in February 2021 involving a complaint about work contrary to a stop work order at a different address (11201), though this complaint was ultimately determined to be unsubstantiated based on department records and does not appear to have any direct connection to this building. While the repeated bedbug reporting violations suggest challenges with compliance rather than actual pest issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status according to official filings during this entire period.
