25 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

25 East 21st Street, a 12-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush and owned by Joseph Soleimani, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years, most recently in early 2025, with three separate emergency complaints between January and March 2025. The building has an active violation for not filing the 2018 and 2021 External Low Pressure Inspections, issued in June 2023.

There have been multiple inspections for rodent activity in 2023-2024, with the most recent compliance inspections showing rat activity and bait application in April 2024, and previously in December 2023 and October 2023. The building's maintenance history shows various apartment-specific violations that have generally been addressed, including a defective smoke detector in 2B (2023), hot water temperature issues in 1A (2023), and self-closing door problems in 3B (2023).

Earlier violations from 2021-2022 in apartment 1A included issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and ventilation systems, all of which have been closed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past eight years (2019-2025), and despite the sanitation challenges, there have been no violations issued specifically for general unsanitary conditions in recent years. The property has undergone some work, as evidenced by permit records from February 2019, though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the available data.
