208 Bay 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 208 Bay 22nd Street in Bath Beach, currently owned by Mohamed Elsayed, has exhibited several concerning patterns regarding pest management and sanitation over the past two years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a rodent-related service request that resulted in a passed inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Between November 2024 and January 2025, there were two separate complaints regarding pest-related unsanitary conditions filed with the HPD; one of these complaints could not be inspected due to access issues, while the other resulted in an inspection that found no housing law violations. While the building received a Housing Maintenance Code violation notice in April 2021 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2019 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units during each reporting period.

The building's inspection history suggests some recent pest management challenges, though the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The property has generally maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2021, and while there have been multiple pest-related complaints, many of these either resulted in no violations being found or could not be properly investigated due to access issues. The pattern of complaints between late 2024 and early 2025 appears to be an anomaly compared to the building's longer history of maintaining pest-free status as evidenced by the bedbug reports.
