234 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

234 Keap Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building constructed in 1999 and currently owned by Mendy Deutsch. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent violations in 2024 and 2023 primarily involving self-closing door requirements for the building entrance and individual apartments, particularly affecting the 1st story and Apartment 5A.

Other notable violations from 2023 included concerns about fire retardant materials in the boiler room and encumbrances consisting of household items in public hallways across multiple floors (3rd, 4th, and 1st stories). The building's safety systems have faced scrutiny, evidenced by a 2018 ECB violation regarding a non-functioning alarm system and emergency phone, which carried a $2,500 penalty. In terms of pest control, 234 Keap Street has maintained a consistent record of bedbug prevention efforts, with official reports from 2021 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units, indicating successful eradication protocols when necessary.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of violations related to doors and hallways, though most have been resolved or closed, including two DOB violations from 2019 that were dismissed based on subsequent inspections showing corrected defects. A gas utility complaint from 2019 noted access denial during inspection attempts, though the outcome was not directly linked to building conditions. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with all reports showing zero infestation cases across multiple reporting periods.
