8662 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

Located in Bath Beach, 8662 21st Avenue is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Chao Lin. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed in July and October 2018, including several building-wide outages that resulted in emergency housing maintenance code violations. The building also faced maintenance challenges in mid-2018, including safety concerns related to the sprinkler system, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions involving mold.

Notably, there are open violations regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements for 2022-2024. Apartment 2R, specifically, has several documented issues from July 2018, including the absence of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door closure problems, bathroom tile repairs needed, and broken plaster surfaces requiring attention. The building's external monitoring shows some compliance challenges, with rodent inspections in 2018 resulting in a failed initial inspection, though subsequent compliance inspections passed.

A complaint regarding unlicensed/illegal plumbing work was filed in January 2020 but resulted in no violations being warranted. The property shows some effort at maintenance and compliance, with a bedbug report showing no active infestations for the period of November 2019 to October 2020, though previous years had indicated some issues. The most recent permit activity was recorded in October 2019 for unspecified work. While the building has had multiple maintenance issues over the years, particularly related to heat and safety systems, many of the complaints have been addressed, though several open violations remain as of 2023.
