222 Crystal Street, Brooklyn, NY 11208

222 Crystal Street is a two-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, currently owned by Java Bhuya. The property has shown recent maintenance activity in 2024, with multiple non-emergency complaints received and addressed between March 12 and March 16, 2024, including issues with a refrigerator, wall plaster, plumbing fixtures, and lighting.

A concerning pattern of hardware and safety issues emerged in March 2024, with multiple violations documented during an inspection on March 15, 2024. These included problems with interior doors in apartment 2R, an unauthorized double cylinder lock on the building's metal door, and the need for various safety notifications to be posted, including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements. Notably, the building's smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notices were finally certified as properly posted on May 7, 2024.

The building's recent history shows some persistent maintenance challenges, particularly in apartment 2R, where multiple violations were recorded for a leaky bathtub fixture, broken light fixture, and door issues. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period (November 2023 - October 2024), and passed a rodent inspection in 2012. While many of the 2024 violations were promptly addressed and closed, the concentration of issues identified during the March 2024 inspection suggests a period of relatively high maintenance needs for this building.
