454 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

Located in Flatbush, 454 East 22nd Street is a 4-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement built in 1931, currently owned by Naftali Hager. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed by tenants in January 2025 and December 2024, both involving the entire building and individual apartments, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Between 2023 and 2024, multiple maintenance issues were reported and investigated, including plumbing problems with bathtubs/showers, door/window concerns, and general issues with cabinets, walls, and plaster. Notably, there were pest-related complaints in late 2023 and early 2024, with at least one violation identified in October 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions. In January 2024, a thorough inspection of Apartment 4C resulted in multiple violations, including issues with floor tiles, plastered surfaces, leaking bathtub faucets, door hardware, window guards, and various other repairs needed.

The building's history includes some significant events, such as environmental control board violations in 2018 related to construction safety, though these were resolved with penalties. More recent rodent activity was documented through inspections in April and May 2025, with the building's pest control status being consistently reported as requiring attention. The property has maintained an active record of compliance inspections for bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years, and the Department of Buildings has recorded permit activity for various maintenance and repair work on the property, including electrical work permitted in 2019.
