75 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 6-story, 53-unit building at 75 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by Yida Stern, has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns dating back several years. Most recently, in May 2025, multiple HPD complaints were filed and investigated, including issues with window frames (violation issued), various water-related problems, and multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pests. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with open violations for mouse infestations in apartment 4F (as of September 2024), and previous violations in apartments 4F and 3C for roach infestations.
Multiple elevator service disruptions were reported between 2022 and 2024, with four identical complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" in July-August 2024, leading to an Oath Violation. In late 2024, two units reported bedbug infestations, though they were marked as eradicated. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing infrastructure and safety concerns, including issues with stair flooring, ceiling paint, and various plumbing problems.
There have been multiple rodent control efforts in 2025, with repeated bait applications and inspections showing rat activity. Several apartments have documented violations related to mold, plumbing, and interior maintenance. The elevator system has been a particular focus of complaints across multiple years, though previous similar complaints from 2020-2022 were found to warrant no violation upon inspection. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 noted various elevator maintenance issues, including misaligned mirrors and leaking components, while earlier violations in 2018-2019 documented similar elevator maintenance needs.
