128 Skillman Street, Brooklyn, NY 11205
The 12-unit, 6-story residential building at 128 Skillman Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, owned by Nathan Kohn and constructed in 2002, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years. As of mid-2024, there are multiple open violations, including a bedbug report filing requirement from April 2024, incomplete inspection certificate display at the 1st-story mail area, and a requirement to repaint the north wall at the 6th-story public hall stairs. The building has a concerning history of rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 indicating rat presence, though the previous inspection in July 2022 had passed.
Among the various housing maintenance violations from 2022, issues included defective fire retardant materials in stairway walls, missing or defective self-closing doors throughout all stories, and several requirements for proper notice postings including gas leak procedures and housing information guides. The building's violation history shows a mix of open and resolved issues, with some violations dating back to 2018-2020 that have since been dismissed based on subsequent reports showing corrections. A complaint regarding construction work beyond approved plans was filed in August 2022, though access was denied during inspection attempts.
While the building has maintained proper bedbug reporting requirements in recent years (with no reported infestations in the 2021-2022 and 2019-2020 filings), the ongoing maintenance violations and recent rodent activity suggest persistent property management challenges. The building's age (constructed in 2002) means it is now over 20 years old, though this is relatively young compared to many NYC buildings. The property has had its share of typical urban maintenance issues, but the combination of open violations and rodent activity may be of particular concern to current tenants.
