228 20th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232
228 20th Street in Sunset Park is a 5-story, 10-unit residential building completed in 2018 and owned by Joseph Banda. The property has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, with no reported infestations from 2020 through 2025.
The building experienced several construction-related violations during its 2018-2019 construction period, with the Department of Buildings identifying multiple safety and documentation issues including inadequate housekeeping, failure to maintain public safety, and improper scaffolding installation. These violations, which included penalties totaling $30,000, were ultimately resolved. More recent concerns have centered around potential illegal hotel room operations, with two separate complaints in June 2025 resulting in Oath Violations.
The building has undergone regular inspections by various city agencies, with notable incidents including a rat sighting in July 2022 (which resulted in a health department inspection with no violations found), and a housing maintenance code violation in March 2022 related to an annual bedbug report that required compliance. The property's rodent inspection in September 2022 resulted in a passing grade. The building's construction history shows proper permitting procedures were followed, with building permits issued in November 2018 and February 2019 for new building and foundation work respectively.
