25 Tapscott Street, Brooklyn, NY 11212

25 Tapscott Street is a 48-unit, three-story residential building constructed in 1990 and currently owned by Kerry Kramer. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water stability. In early 2025 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, including one that remained open as of January 2025 and another in December 2024 that resulted in violations.

The building has also faced significant plumbing challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints in January 2025 regarding sewage issues, with some inspections not being completed. Recent maintenance issues have continued to surface, particularly between late 2024 and 2025, including problems with doors and windows, unsanitary conditions, and water leaks. The Department of Buildings conducted a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection in January 2025, which resulted in no violations being found at that time.

However, multiple emergencies were recorded in April 2025 related to doors, window frames, and ceiling maintenance, all of which were subsequently closed. On a positive note, the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods, indicating effective pest management procedures are in place. While the building has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, recent inspections and resolutions suggest ongoing efforts to address these issues, though some complaints have noted difficulties in completing inspections or verifying repairs through HPD.
