590 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

590 East 21st Street is a 19-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Celeste La Marche. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water throughout 2022 and 2023, with ten documented complaints between 2022 and 2023, including three complaints in March 2023, one in December 2023, and multiple incidents in December 2022.

Most of these complaints were closed after tenants reported restoration of services, though there were instances where inspectors could not gain access to verify conditions. The building had a brief period of electrical issues in September 2022, which were resolved without violations.

In late 2022, significant violations were documented in Apartment 25, including problems with water leaks, floor damage, and multiple pest infestations (including roaches and mice), all of which were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by early 2023. The building's heating system has shown persistent challenges, with violations recorded in March 2023 related to free-standing and uncapped radiators in the first-story public hall. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years (2021-2024), as verified by the annual bedbug reporting system, which shows zero infested units in the most recent filings for the periods ending October 2024, 2023, and 2022.
