227 Kingsland Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11222

227 Kingsland Avenue is a 4-story, 16-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Ilan Rosenthal. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2025 when the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified violations requiring follow-up inspections.

Between late 2022 and 2025, multiple inspections revealed rat activity, though there have been some compliance passes, including a June 2025 inspection that returned a "Passed" result. The building has also faced ongoing challenges with garbage/recycling storage issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints between 2022 and 2025, though inspections generally found no housing law violations. Additional historical issues include two emergency mold complaints in March 2022, heat/hot water emergencies in 2020 and late 2021 (affecting the entire building), and a pest-related incident in 2021.

The building experienced two attempted inspections for work without a permit in August 2020, but inspectors were unable to gain access. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free conditions since at least 2019, with no reported infestations during the past several monitoring periods. The property has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent showing some persistent rat activity, though followed by compliance passes when violations were addressed.
