22 Menahan Street, Brooklyn, NY 11221

The 22 Menahan Street building in Bushwick is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement built in 1931 and currently owned by Mohamed Abdou. The property has encountered several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably recurring problems with boiler inspection compliance. As of September 2024, there are active violations regarding the failure to file annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports, with a penalty of $655.

Between 2020 and 2023, the building received multiple violations for not filing required external low-pressure inspection reports, though most of these were subsequently dismissed. The building has also faced consistent challenges with safety compliance, particularly regarding entrance lighting. In 2019, two open violations (still pending resolution) were issued for inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, which is required to maintain minimum safety standards.

While the property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2021, showing mostly "Passed" results, there were instances of rat activity in late 2022. The bedbug reporting process has shown no detected infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), though violations were issued in 2021-2024 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, which were subsequently closed. The building has also experienced some access issues during inspection attempts, as evidenced by two complaints in 2024 regarding work without proper permits, though one was ultimately found to warrant no violation and the other resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access.
