459 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The four-story, 13-unit New Law Tenement building at 459 East 22nd Street in Flatbush, owned by Naftali Hager and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2025, the building faced violations for unsanitary conditions related to pests, alongside complaints of mold, while earlier that year (January 2024) there were documented issues with heat and hot water.
The property has shown recurring problems with its heating system, with multiple heat/hot water complaints throughout 2023-2024, including incidents affecting the entire building and individual apartments. Additional concerns have been documented, including electrical issues in November 2023 with exposed wiring in the fourth-story public hall, and safety concerns such as a power outage in November 2023. Recent inspections in 2025 have indicated ongoing rodent issues, with multiple inspections revealing rat activity and bait application as recently as March 2025.
The building has undergone several regulatory inspections resulting in both open and closed violations, including a 2024 violation regarding a defective vestibule door hinges at the first story. While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to official reports from 2021 through 2024, the persistent pattern of heating, plumbing, and pest control issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort. The property has undergone various repairs and remediation efforts, as evidenced by closed violations, though some recent violations remain open as of the latest inspection records.
