22 Patchen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11221

22 Patchen Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Avi Sagy. The building has experienced recurring issues with rodent infestations over the past few years, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 passing, though there were multiple instances of rat activity and the need for bait applications throughout 2024.

An active Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 remains open regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, although previous years' violations for this issue were properly closed. The building has faced significant regulatory scrutiny, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2024 related to failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports, with a penalty of $3,125 now due. The Department of Buildings records show several notable incidents, including a gas piping complaint in December 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access, and a series of scaffold-related violations in 2018 with multiple penalties totaling $7,825, all of which were ultimately resolved.

The property has also undergone various permitted work periods between 2019-2020, including plumbing and other maintenance activities, though there was a temporary suspension of plumbing work in 2018 due to licensing issues that was subsequently resolved. Recent inspections have shown fluctuating conditions, with some inspections requiring bait application for rodent control and others noting rat activity. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, though there are some recent active violations that require attention.
