227 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

227 Keap Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Monowara Hasim. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with particular emphasis on pest control challenges.

In 2022 alone, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions relating to pests, as evidenced by three separate 311 calls in July and February of that year, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including electrical outlet issues, plumbing problems (including a bathtub/shower emergency situation in February 2022), and multiple paint/plaster concerns affecting walls, ceilings, and radiators.

Of particular concern is the building's ongoing failure to comply with bedbug reporting requirements, with four open violations (from 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023 inspections) citing non-filing of the annual bedbug report as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. Additionally, a 2019 inspection revealed several violations in Apartment 1 that remain open, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, water damage and repair issues in the bathroom, electrical service problems, and various concerns regarding door functionality and wall surface conditions. While some 2022 complaints about plumbing (water supply) and electrical issues were investigated without violations being issued, the pattern of repeated maintenance complaints and open violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and regulatory compliance.
