2503 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 2503 East 22nd Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Guo Tan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding building systems, including electrical wiring problems, gas utility concerns, and unauthorized construction work. Specifically, two separate complaints about defective or exposed electrical wiring were filed in May 2019 and September 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access in both cases and no violations were confirmed during the September 2020 inspection.

A gas utility referral complaint was filed in late 2019, which remained unresolved for several months due to access issues. Multiple construction-related complaints were also filed in May 2019 regarding work beyond approved plans and unpermitted plumbing modifications, leading to a stop work order that was later rescinded in August 2019. Despite these historical issues, more recent records indicate an improvement in building conditions.

The property has had two consecutive years (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) with no reported bedbug infestations, as shown in the July 2025 and April 2024 bedbug reports, with all units reporting zero infested dwelling units. This suggests that the building management has successfully maintained pest control over the past two years, though the presence of multiple access-related inspection failures in 2019-2020 raises some concerns about enforcement of building maintenance requirements during that period. The building, classified as a "New Law Tenement," was constructed in 1920 and remains a typical example of its age and type in the neighborhood.
