2223 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226
2223 Cortelyou Road is a 6-story, 53-unit New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, built in 1928 and currently owned by Michael Rothstein. The building has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 7-25, 2024, regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building. These issues were temporarily addressed but continue to recur.
Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, including door/window problems with multiple inspection attempts that couldn't be completed, and both pest (rodents) and garbage/recycling storage violations were documented in October 2024, with inspections resulting in violations being issued. The building has also experienced several elevator service issues, with complaints about single-device operation dating back to at least 2019, and a building shaking/structural stability complaint recorded in December 2023. Recent inspections and violations highlight several safety and maintenance concerns that have been addressed, including problems with self-closing doors, illegal locks, and various safety equipment (smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors) issues in specific apartments.
The building's exterior has faced scrutiny, with facade violations noted in December 2023 regarding cracks and damaged bricks. Rodent activity has been a recurring issue, with multiple bait applications and some inspections showing rat activity throughout 2024-2025. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates one infested unit that was successfully treated, though this follows a period (2022-2023) with no reported infestations. The building has maintained some basic systems functionality, as evidenced by recent compliance inspections passing, but multiple active violations remain open, including one from October 2024 regarding rat infestation in the east courtyard.
