312 Keap Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

The four-story, seven-unit residential building at 312 Keap Street in Williamsburg, owned by Ari Worch and completed in 2018, experienced significant construction-related issues during its development phase, with multiple complaints and violations documented throughout 2018-2019. Between June and October 2019 alone, there were at least eight complaints, including concerns about building shaking, debris issues, and failure to protect adjacent buildings.

The Department of Buildings (DOB) issued several Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations to A R Developers Inc, including failures to maintain proper safety equipment, maintain housekeeping standards, and keep required documentation on site, with penalties totaling $12,000 recorded in August 2019. Despite these violations, most complaints were eventually closed with either "No Violation Warranted" or "Oath Violation Served" dispositions, suggesting that while there were numerous safety concerns during construction, regulatory inspections did not always find violations at the time of their visits.

Since the building's completion, there have been no reported bedbug infestations across all five years of monitoring (2020-2025), and recent inspections show no rodent activity or violations, though there was a pattern of rat activity noted in 2014-2016, prior to the building's construction. The building's current status as of 2025 shows no active complaints or violations on record, and all historical ECB violations appear to have been resolved with no outstanding penalties. The DOB permit history shows regular issuance and re-issuance of permits throughout 2018-2019, indicating active oversight of the construction process.
