365 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The 8-unit, 4-story tenement building at 365 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by Shmuel Stein, was constructed in 1925 and has experienced several notable events over recent years. In June 2020, the building faced multiple maintenance issues, with tenants filing complaints about refrigerator problems, ceiling paint/plaster issues, pest infestations, heating/hot water deficiencies, and mold, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations of housing maintenance codes related to these complaints.

Two open violations remain on record from June 2020 concerning safety concerns, specifically regarding an illegally installed padlock on a metal gate in the front yard and an obstructing air conditioner on the second-floor balcony affecting fire escape egress. The building's pest control history shows consistent monitoring, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past seven years (2019-2025), demonstrating effective management of this issue.

However, there was a significant rodent activity problem in 2017, with three inspections recording rat activity in February, April, and June of that year, although these issues appear to have been addressed as evidenced by subsequent management practices. The property has maintained an active record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2025, consistently reporting zero infested units throughout this period.
