225 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

225 Keap Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Louis Spitzer. The building's most significant recent history involves safety and compliance issues related to the third story and roof access, with multiple violations documented in 2021-2022. These included concerns about improper alterations to the public hall, roof access safety (including a missing scuttle opening and stationary ladder), and the need for a ventilating skylight over the third-story stairwell.

The building also had violations related to obstruction of egress paths, with household items blocking public hall areas noted in a December 2021 inspection. While these safety violations were categorized as Class B and Class C (indicating varying levels of severity), they have all been marked as "Close," suggesting they were addressed. The property has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with four consecutive annual reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The building's most recent bedbug report, filed in June 2025, covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024 and indicates a continued lack of infestations. The periodic bedbug reporting violations noted in 2022-2024 have all been resolved. The building's violation history suggests a transition from more significant safety concerns in 2021-2022 to current compliance with both safety and pest management requirements, with no recent violations of major concern recorded in the past year.
