522A Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231

522A Henry Street is a 4-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1920 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, currently owned by Adil Mohamed. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, with the most significant issues occurring between 2020-2024. In September 2020, multiple violations were documented, including water leaks (heavy flow), mold, and problems with floors, walls, radiators, and windows, suggesting serious infrastructure concerns. The building has open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024, which are documented as Class A violations under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The fourth-floor apartment (Unit 4) has particularly notable issues, with documented violations including mold (6 sq. ft. at ceiling, walls), water leaks affecting the bathroom ceiling, rodent infestation (roaches), and various repair needs for walls, plaster surfaces, and the bathroom floor. Safety concerns were also documented, including a violation regarding a defective fire egress ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening.

Recent events from 2024 show continued maintenance concerns, including emergency responses for door/window issues, unsanitary pest conditions, and roof door/hatch problems in February 2024. The building's most recent inspection in July 2018 resulted in a passed rodent inspection, though subsequent complaints suggest pest management has been an ongoing challenge. While many historical complaints from 2020-2024 have been resolved, a number of open violations remain, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance and various maintenance issues affecting Unit 4. The building's documented history suggests a pattern of water-related issues, structural concerns, and pest management challenges that have persisted over multiple years.
