187 Bay 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

187 Bay 22nd Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Robert Kaprowicz. The property has experienced recurring compliance issues regarding bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, though all these violations have been closed.

Notably, the April 2024 bedbug report submission indicates that during the 2022-2023 reporting period, there were no infested dwelling units, units that had been eradicated, or re-infested units, suggesting proper bedbug management during that period. The building also had a Department of Buildings complaint in July 2020 regarding an illegal conversion, which was marked as closed in January 2021, though access issues prevented the inspector from conducting a proper examination on the second final attempt.

The building's recent history shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent report properly submitted and showing no infestation issues. The property has maintained a consistent record of closing previously issued violations, though the recurring nature of the bedbug reporting violations through 2024 indicates this has been an ongoing administrative challenge, rather than a reflection of active infestation problems. The illegal conversion complaint from 2020, while closed, highlights a potential area of concern regarding unauthorized modifications to the building structure, though the complaint's closure indicates no further action was warranted.
