822 Marcy Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit old-law tenement building constructed in 1899, currently owned by Lynette Gill and located in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, evidenced by three emergency complaints in 2025 alone, most notably in March 2025 when violations were issued for inadequate heating conditions affecting the entire building. Recent maintenance concerns have included electrical issues (lighting and outlet problems), water leaks, and mold, with several complaints in May 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, with complaints regarding paint and plaster conditions in walls and windows recorded in May 2025, though inspections found no violations. The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues requiring attention, with multiple violations documented in 2024, particularly affecting apartment 1L, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, hot water supply, and various structural issues. While rodent activity has been recorded in inspections from 2023 to 2025, recent compliance inspections have passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management.

Notably, the property has maintained a clean record for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past several years. There is currently an active complaint regarding water retention and drainage (LL103/89) filed in May 2025. The building's owner has taken steps to address various maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple permit requests and inspections, including a permit related to emergency work issued in August 2023.
