2213 Bath Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

2213 Bath Avenue is a 4-story, 22-unit residential building located in Gravesend, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Gail Schattner. The building has experienced recurring pest management issues in recent years, with multiple rodent sightings reported between May and June 2025, though the most recent inspection in July 2025 passed. There have been several concerning safety violations in 2025, including a broken window guard, missing carbon monoxide detector, missing smoke detector, and general unsanitary conditions related to pests, all of which have received violations requiring correction. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a cluster of violations identified in September 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, water closet problems, and spalling cement.

Additional safety concerns were documented in May 2025, with violations related to fire safety and building systems. The property has a history of plumbing issues, with multiple complaints about toilets and shower facilities, and there are several building-wide maintenance matters such as roof leaks and hallway conditions that have required attention. Recent inspections in mid-2025 found combustible materials blocking pathways on the 4th floor, presenting potential evacuation hazards. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to various issues, with violations generally being addressed though some remain open as of the latest records.

The property has maintained a pest-free status for bedbugs in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), though previous years show consistent zero counts for infestations. Historical records from 2019-2020 indicate past concerns with building systems such as the boiler, though these were addressed. The most recent building-wide inspection in July 2025 passed, suggesting some improvement in compliance with health and safety standards, though the frequency and variety of complaints in 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also served as a New Law Tenement building, which has specific regulatory implications for unit conditions and maintenance requirements.
