837 East 22nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11210

837 East 22nd Street is a 4-story, 32-unit New Law Tenement building located in Flatbush and built in 1924, currently owned by Jonathan Samet. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, particularly in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between January and April reporting these problems across the entire building.

The building has also faced significant rodent issues, with multiple rat sighting complaints reported in 2025, including sightings in January, March, April, and May of that year, though recent inspections in June 2025 confirmed that bait was applied to address the infestation. A notable pattern of heating system problems is evident, with ten separate heating complaints documented between December 2024 and April 2025, though inspectors often reported that heat had been restored upon their arrival. The building has several outstanding housing maintenance code violations, particularly in Apartment 4G, which was inspected in December 2023 and found to have multiple issues including roof leaks, bathroom mold (approximately 25 square feet), problems with bathtub finish, and various maintenance concerns in the kitchen and bathroom areas.

Apartment 2H also has open violations from November 2024 regarding unauthorized ceiling alterations. While the property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record since 2019, no infestations have been reported in the past four years, with the most recent filings from 2024 showing zero affected units. The building underwent permit activity in April 2021, with work permits issued, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records.
