223 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The three-story, four-unit building at 223 21st Street in Sunset Park, owned by Malke Sandberg, has been standing since 1910 and is currently classified as a converted Class A property. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest control and maintenance, with no documented bedbug infestations in the past six years, according to annual Bedbug Reporting filings from 2019 through 2024, which show zero infested or eradicated units each year.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing in December 2024 indicating a clean record for the 2023-2024 period. The building has experienced some pest-related issues, most notably a rat sighting in August 2024, which was promptly investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; the inspection resulted in a passing grade with only minor violations noted.

Prior to this incident, there appears to have been consistent vigilance regarding pest control, as evidenced by passing rodent inspections. The property also had a Housing Maintenance Code violation recorded in February 2022 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though this appears to have been resolved given the subsequent compliance demonstrated in annual filings. While the building is generally maintaining required reports and inspections, the recent rodent sighting and minor violations suggest ongoing vigilance is required regarding building maintenance and pest control.
