221 Quincy Street, Brooklyn, NY 11216

221 Quincy Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Yitzchok Kohn. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, most notably in late 2024, when multiple emergency maintenance complaints were filed and addressed, including issues with mold, water leaks, and flooring in the stairs.

A comprehensive inspection in November 2024 revealed various violations in Apartment 3, including problems with self-closing doors, broken plastered surfaces, roof leaks, and defective smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently certified as closed by December 2024. The building has a documented history of heating issues, with a building-wide heat/HW complaint in January 2022 that was closed due to lack of access for inspection.

More concerning was a period in 2022 when the second floor was allegedly converted for transient use, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to building code compliance, safety systems, and occupancy standards, though these were resolved with penalties totaling $7,500. The property has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections consistently since 2019 and has reported no bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025). Recent building maintenance has focused on addressing structural and safety concerns, with most violations being promptly addressed following inspections, though the pattern of mold-related complaints suggests ongoing environmental challenges within the building.
