505 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226

The four-story, 14-unit apartment building at 505 East 22nd Street in Flatbush, owned by Abe Heller, has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues during 2025. In April 2025 alone, there were numerous service requests related to plumbing, water leaks, electrical problems, and paint/plaster issues in walls and ceilings.

Notably, inspections for several of these complaints were not able to be completed due to access issues. The building had significant violations in late 2024, particularly in apartment 3M, where issues included lack of heat, hot water exceeding 130 degrees, and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were certified as corrected by early 2025. The property has maintained relatively good pest control records in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2025) and passing rodent inspections in 2020 and 2023, with only one failed inspection in 2017.

A notable complaint regarding building shaking or vibration was filed in January 2023, but inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing, water, and general maintenance issues, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints requiring attention. While many violations and complaints have been resolved, the persistent access issues during HPD inspections in 2025 suggest ongoing communication challenges between management and residents regarding maintenance matters.
