351 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 4-story, 38-unit tenement building at 351 East 21st Street in Flatbush, owned by Richard Brown, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly water-related problems. Most notably, there have been two documented slow water leak complaints in 2024 and 2025, with the latter complaint remaining unresolved as of May 2025 due to inspection access issues.
The building has also faced various plumbing and electrical concerns, including a shower issue and two electrical incidents in October 2024 (one being an immediate emergency power outage), though inspectors found no housing law violations for the electrical complaints. Additional issues have included winter heating complaints in early 2024 (with no violations found), multiple water leak incidents (including a heavy flow case in January 2024), and various maintenance matters requiring attention to doors, windows, and interior surfaces. The building's December 2024 violation inspection revealed several compliance issues, including lead paint hazard documentation requirements for multiple apartments (2B, 2E, 3C, 3F, and 4G), bathroom maintenance requirements in apartment 2K, and self-closing door issues at the roof exit.
Historical records show pest control efforts have been successful, with no reported bedbug infestations in the building since 2020, though there were periods of rat activity documented between 2016 to 2017, with most recent inspections passing. An illegal conversion complaint from October 2024 is currently active, and a 2021 electrical wiring complaint was closed without any violations being found at that time. The building has maintained regular compliance in pest control, with no reported infestations in the past five years, while safety issues related to lead paint and building systems continue to require attention.
