188 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
188 Keap Street is a 3-story, 11-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Harry Berkovitz. The property has experienced ongoing regulatory challenges, most notably a pattern of repeated Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting persistent non-compliance with the mandated annual bedbug report filing.
The building has a documented rodent history, including a rat sighting reported in November 2020 that triggered Department of Health and Mental Hygiene violations, though a subsequent rodent compliance inspection in May 2021 passed. In addition to these issues, there are two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from 2021: one related to unpermitted construction work by Congregation Kahal Beth Y that created unsafe conditions for pedestrians and another concerning failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous ECB violation.
The congregation's construction work, noted for its significant size (approximately 16'x22'x20') and pedestrian safety concerns, resulted in a penalty of $1,250 that was marked as paid. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections and had no new rodent complaints in recent years, the persistent bedbug report violation pattern and outstanding DOB violations warrant attention to the building's regulatory compliance history.
