2201 Cortelyou Road, Brooklyn, NY 11226

2201 Cortelyou Road is a 5-story, 20-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Joel Mizrahi. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues, with multiple heat/hot water complaints recorded throughout 2024, including a recent emergency complaint in December 2024 that was resolved within three days.

The building has also faced infrastructural challenges, particularly in 2024, with four simultaneous complaints in August regarding flooring, doors, plumbing, and cabinet conditions, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues. More concerning are several open violations issued in March 2024 for Apartment 2B, including requirements to repair various features such as window sashes, base cabinets, and kitchen conditions, as well as an open Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding low pressure inspection filing. The building's safety systems came under scrutiny earlier in 2024, with two violations found in March regarding missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 3B, though these were certified as corrected in April 2024.

While bedbug reporting indicates zero infestation cases reported across multiple annual filings from 2021 through 2024, rodent inspection records between 2010 and 2018 show varying results, with several instances of rat activity noted in 2014 and 2017, though more recent inspections indicate passed results. The property's heating system has been a recurring issue, with at least eight documented complaints between March and April 2024 alone, though most were ultimately resolved without violations being issued. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an active bedbug control program with consistent reporting showing no infestations.
