18 Kane Place, Brooklyn, NY 11233

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 18 Kane Place, owned by Salim Sheikh, has experienced notable maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most significantly, between May and June 2025, the property faced multiple electrical, flooring, water leak, and mold-related issues, with several of these complaints being classified as emergencies. The building currently has several open violations from 2024 in Apartment 2, including concerns about electrical outlets, ceiling fixtures, plaster surfaces, and safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Notably, there is an active violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report. Recent complaints from June 2025 also involved plumbing and boiler issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts. The property has shown some regulatory compliance in terms of rodent inspections, passing inspections in July 2022, July 2023, and July 2025.

While many of the recent complaints have been addressed through inspections and resolutions, the recurring nature of similar issues across different complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's construction in 2007 followed the HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A classification, indicating it was built as a regulated multi-family dwelling. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and violations being issued, others remain open, particularly regarding general safety equipment and electrical systems in Apartment 2. Responses to service requests have varied, with some inspections being completed and others not, particularly during the May 2025 cluster of complaints.
