306 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement at 306 22nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Gil Cygler and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable events over recent years. Most concerning is a recent water leak complaint from late 2024 that HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection, leaving the matter unresolved as of April 2025. The building has consistently faced challenges with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by three separate violations issued between 2022 and 2024, each indicating failure to file the mandatory annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings for 2024-2025 show no infested units.

The property experienced significant fire safety concerns in May 2019, when multiple violations were issued regarding compromised fire stopping between apartments, requiring the presence of fire guards and resulting in an Oath Violation being served. These violations included failure to maintain proper fire barriers, not distributing the Safe Construction Bill of Rights, and not providing the Tenant Protection Plan during construction work, though records indicate these violations were subsequently resolved. The building's permit history shows activity in 2019 with permits being issued for work that had previously been subject to Stop Work Orders.

The property has maintained regular filing of bedbug reports in recent years, consistently reporting zero infested units since 2019. The most recent bedbug report filing in May 2025 covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing no instances of infestation or re-infestation. The building's record also includes multiple 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints, though many are routine in nature. While the water leak complaint from late 2024 stands out as the most recent building issue, the persistent challenges with bedbug reporting compliance and the 2019 fire safety violations highlight areas of historical concern, despite recent improvements in bedbug management as evidenced by the last four years of zero infestation reports.
