531 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The 35-unit, 6-story building at 531 East 22nd Street in Flatbush, owned by Asher Klein and constructed in 1934, has experienced numerous maintenance and service issues in recent years. Most notably, between April and June 2025, there were multiple electrical and plumbing-related service requests, including problems with lighting, electric ranges, and various bathroom fixtures (toilet, sink, bathtub/shower). The building has also faced recurring elevator problems, with multiple complaints from 2020-2024 regarding single-device service and no alternate service, though recent complaints indicate some improvement in this area.
A significant pattern of housing quality concerns is evident, particularly in late 2024 when several violations were issued for Apartment 5B, including bathroom fixture issues, plaster and paint defects, door hardware problems, and missing smoke detectors. The property has a documented history of pest management issues, with bedbug infestations reported periodically, including one case in 2024. Recent rodent inspections in 2024 revealed rat activity, though previous inspections in 2019 had shown better results.
There are also outstanding building performance issues, with active violations from 2021 and 2023 regarding failure to file required energy benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores. The building's maintenance history shows some attention to resolving issues, with many violations marked as "Closed" after inspection, though some recent complaints have been closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance activities, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018-2019, including plumbing and electrical work.
