356 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 356 22nd Street in Sunset Park, owned by Ravindra Kumar and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in May 2025, there were two complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though HPD found no violations upon inspection. Earlier in 2025, there were issues with an electric/gas range that HPD could not properly inspect.

The building has had recurring rodent issues, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity in February and prior compliance inspections still noting rodent presence in September 2022. A significant heat/hot water complaint from March 2020 was closed without access for inspection. The property has undergone multiple Housing Maintenance Code inspections, with particularly notable violations in late 2019 affecting the third-floor apartment (3F), including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, smoke detectors, and pest infestation.

The building has maintained an active bedbug compliance record from 2021 through 2024, with all three annual reports showing zero infested units, though violations for failing to file annual reports were noted in 2021, 2023, and 2024. The property has experienced various maintenance issues between 2019 and 2025, including multiple complaints regarding paint/plaster conditions in August 2019, various electrical issues, and pest problems. While the building has had numerous violations and complaints over the years, most have been addressed through HPD inspections and other agency interventions, though some issues, particularly regarding rodent activity and the recent range complaint, show ongoing maintenance challenges.
