2195 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

Situated in Sheepshead Bay, 2195 East 22nd Street is a 6-story, 66-unit residential building constructed in 1942 and currently owned by Mustafa Mustafa. The building has experienced several significant issues in recent years, most notably concerning safety systems and basic utilities. There have been recurring heat and hot water outages reported in 2021, affecting the entire building, though these issues were reportedly resolved by the management.

More recent concerns include a September 2023 complaint about indoor air quality involving chemical vapors or odors, which prompted a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advisory to the management. The building currently has multiple open violations from 2021-2024 regarding safety and maintenance requirements, including issues with carbon monoxide detector notifications, smoke detector requirements, and missing fire safety signs on six floors. There is also an outstanding violation concerning the display of energy efficiency scores that has remained unresolved since at least December 2021.

Historical records show previous concerns including an elevator service issue in 2020 and two inspection attempts regarding illegal conversion and permit issues in 2018-2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises. The building has multiple open "Class A" violations related to housing maintenance code requirements, including the need to file annual bedbug reports and maintain proper safety notices in common areas. While some past issues have been resolved – such as the 2020 elevator problem which resulted in a penalty – the persistence of several open violations suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The property has undergone various inspections and has received communications from multiple city agencies, including the Department of Buildings and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, regarding various safety and maintenance concerns.
