222 East 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203
The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 222 East 39th Street, owned by Rickey Marks, has been in East Flatbush since 1920. The property has experienced recurring pest issues, most recently documented in February 2025 with HPD violations for unsanitary conditions and pests, following a similar mouse sighting complaint from May 2024 where DOHMH inspectors were unable to access the property.
The building has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance from 2023 to 2025, with no infested units reported in any of the three most recent filings. Significant regulatory issues emerged in 2020 when violations were recorded for unauthorized cellar modifications, including the construction of illegal Class A apartment features such as partitions, bathrooms, and kitchen facilities, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations.
These violations prompted a series of compliance issues in 2021, with multiple notices indicating failure to comply with correction orders, though most were eventually resolved. The building's rodent control program appears to have improved, with a passed inspection in June 2024, following a pattern of failures documented in 2010-2011. While there have been multiple violations and complaints regarding the property's condition over the years, recent reports suggest some improvements in compliance and maintenance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and rodent inspection results.
