212 Bay 23rd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

212 Bay 23rd Street is a 3-story, 3-unit New Law tenement building located in Bath Beach and owned by Douglas Danosos. The 1901 building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably concerning cooking gas and unsanitary conditions. Between October 2021 and February 2022, there were multiple emergency complaints and violations related to cooking gas supply problems, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor.

This period also saw issues with mold in multiple instances, resulting in violations. A recent health inspection in November 2024 found rodent activity on the property, with follow-up inspections scheduled, though a subsequent January 2025 compliance inspection passed. The building has had persistent issues with gas supply and safety notices, including violations for inadequate gas service to fixtures and requirements for proper posting of carbon monoxide detector information and gas leak procedures.

As of 2025, the building's recent history shows some improvement in certain areas - the most recent bedbug report for 2023-2024 indicates no infestation, and a January 2025 rodent inspection passed. However, there remain several open violations from previous inspections, including issues with gas supply, bathroom caulking, and safety notices. The building has maintained an active pattern of service requests and violations over the past few years, with the most recent being a rat sighting in November 2024 that resulted in health department violations requiring follow-up inspections. While some historical issues have been addressed through various inspections and violations being closed, the building's maintenance record shows ongoing challenges with basic facilities and safety requirements.
