194 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

The five-story, seven-unit building at 194 22nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Jagat Bhuyan, was constructed in 2016 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is a recent emergency complaint from July 2024 regarding mold conditions, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations related to this issue.

A September 2024 inspection revealed multiple safety and code compliance concerns, including three open violations (still pending resolution as of July 2025) related to defective fire doors with missing or defective hinges on various floors. These open violations specifically pertain to fire safety concerns, which are typically of higher significance than other maintenance issues. The building's September 2024 inspection also identified several administrative violations, all of which have since been closed, requiring the posting of important safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and building registration information in appropriate locations, primarily in the first-story public hall.

Notably, the property has maintained a clean record concerning bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through 2025. The building's construction was properly documented with multiple permits issued in 2018, including for new construction and plumbing work, all of which were properly filed and issued. While the recent violations indicate some ongoing maintenance and safety compliance work is needed, the building's overall age of just over eight years suggests it is still relatively new in terms of typical building lifecycle.
