662 East 21st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11226
The four-story, 24-unit tenement at 662 East 21st Street in Flatbush, built in 1931 and owned by Faige Werdyger, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat/hot water availability and pest control. A significant heating emergency was reported in December 2024, affecting the entire building, though it was resolved shortly thereafter when HPD verified restoration of services. The building has experienced multiple water-related issues, including leaks documented through various complaints and violations between 2019-2024, with both slow and heavy flow leaks reported.
Pest problems have been persistent, with the most recent extermination efforts noted in 2025 showing active rat activity and bait application, following similar patterns observed in 2024 and 2018. The property has accumulated several open violations requiring attention, particularly regarding lead paint hazard compliance. Multiple violations from 2021 (affecting apartments 3B, 3C, 5B, 6C, and 6D) relate to failing to certify compliance with lead-based paint hazard control requirements during unit vacancy periods.
There are also active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections (2018-2019) and other regulatory compliance issues. The building has shown consistent issues with building system maintenance, including electrical wiring problems documented through multiple complaints and violations between 2018-2019, though inspections typically resulted in no violations being warranted. Recent bedbug reports for 2022-2023 indicate no infestations, and previous years' reports showed similar results. The property has maintained regular rodent inspections with mixed results between 2016-2025, currently showing active rat activity requiring bait application.
