184 Kent Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249
184 Kent Avenue, owned by Doron Kless and built in 1914, is a 7-story, 333-unit commercial altered Class A building located in Williamsburg. The property has experienced persistent issues with mold, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints filed in early 2025, all of which were investigated by HPD but found not to violate housing laws. The building has an ongoing food poisoning complaint from July 2023 and recent inspections revealing various food safety violations, including issues with bare hands contacting food (April 2024) and pet/animal-related concerns (November 2024).
The elevator system is currently under scrutiny, with multiple active ECB violations from June 2023 related to maintenance issues and an open Department of Buildings violation from March 2023 regarding annual bedbug reporting. While the building's bedbug reports for 2022-2023-2024 show no infested units, there were several mold-related violations identified in the summer of 2021 in Apartment A603, including visible mold conditions affecting multiple rooms and electrical wiring concerns. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance activities, with numerous permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for emergency work, plumbing, and electrical systems.
Recent building inspections have generally been passed, including rodent inspections in 2019 and 2024, though there were reports of rat activity in 2022. While the building has shown some improvement in building-wide conditions over time, the active elevator violations, food safety concerns, and mold complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The elevators currently have six active ECB violations from June 2023, each with a penalty of $655.
