369 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

369 East 21st Street is a 4-story, 5-unit residential building in Flatbush, owned by Joseph Soleimani. Built in 1911, the property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints in 2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage. The building has a documented history of sanitation and pest control challenges, particularly evident in multiple HPD complaints between 2024-2025, including three separate complaints about garbage/recycling storage and four instances of unsanitary conditions.

A significant apartment-specific issue arose in Apt 4A during 2024, involving multiple violations including pest infestation (roaches and mice), a lack of required safety devices (smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector), and various maintenance issues (lighting fixtures, closet door, and multiple wall paint concerns). The building's systems have also shown multiple compliance challenges, with HPD documentation indicating various repairs needed in 2024, including electrical issues (lighting), door problems, and sanitation concerns. Rodent inspections have been documented from 2014-2022, showing occasional rat activity though more recent inspections have generally passed.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2019-2024 showing zero infested units. Two permits were issued in early 2019, suggesting some level of maintenance or improvement work was undertaken at that time. The property's violation history indicates that while many issues have been addressed and closed, there remains a pattern of maintenance and sanitation concerns requiring ongoing attention.
