23 Heyward Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249
23 Heyward Street, a 6-story, 19-unit residential building constructed in 2000 and owned by Mendy Klein, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years that may impact resident quality of life. Most concerning is a September 2024 rat sighting that resulted in Health Department violations requiring follow-up inspections, marking the building's second rodent-related incident in three years. The building has persistent issues with fire safety infrastructure, evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at various public hall locations (1st, 6th stories, and cellar) that were finally certified as corrected by late May 2024.
There are also active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2023, which raises safety concerns about the building's exterior maintenance compliance. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with recent filings (2022-2024) showing no reported cases. Prior violations from 2021-2022 requesting annual bedbug reports have been addressed.
Historical records show sporadic rodent-related issues, including failed inspections in 2011 and 2022, though a 2024 rodent inspection resulted in a "failed for other reasons" designation. The property has had various compliance issues over the years, including a 2018 violation regarding exterior wall examinations and a 2022 citation for failure to file an energy benchmarking report, though some violations were subsequently dismissed or resolved. The building's management has generally addressed violations when identified, as evidenced by the closure of multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations once corrected, though the recurrence of certain issues (such as fire door problems and rodent sightings) suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
