331 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The 6-story, 36-unit tenement building at 331 Keap Street in Williamsburg, owned by Soonbin Kim and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2025 when multiple complaints were filed regarding sanitary conditions, including mold and garbage storage problems, though inspections found no violations in some cases. Heating and hot water disruptions have been a notable concern, with emergencies reported in both early 2025 and 2022 affecting the entire building, though systems were reportedly restored promptly. Recent maintenance issues also include electrical problems (June 2025 power outage) and paint/plaster concerns, with one incident in March 2025 resulting in violations.

The building's violation history shows active issues related to low-pressure inspection filings for 2019-2023, though bedbug reports filed annually since 2020 indicate no infestations, with 2025 filings showing zero affected units. Previous violations from 2018-2020 involved unauthorized modifications in multiple apartments, including ADA compliance issues and gas line concerns, with penalties imposed. The property has undergone regular inspections and audits, with most complaints being resolved or closed following inspections.

Notable past violations included blocked fire escape concerns and various maintenance issues in Apartment 30 in 2020, though these have since been addressed. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and passed rodent inspections in December 2018. Multiple 311 complaints in recent years, particularly focused on heat/hot water and maintenance issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems, though many inspections have resulted in no violations being found.
