667 East 34th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The six-story, 90-unit building at 667 East 34th Street in East Flatbush, owned by Mehmet Kalkan and constructed in 1940, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, though some were resolved before inspection. In late 2024, Apartment 5H was found to have various violations requiring attention, including problems with smoke detectors, hot water availability, pest infestations (roaches and mice), carbon monoxide detectors, mold, and window repairs.

The building's elevator system has been an ongoing concern, with multiple complaints about devices and service between 2018 and 2025, though violations were generally not substantiated upon inspection. Recent maintenance issues have continued into 2025, with multiple 311 service requests showing difficulty gaining inspection access for various complaints, including heat/hot water issues and appliance problems (most recently a refrigerator issue in June 2025). The building has experienced recurring pest problems, with seven documented instances of bedbug infestations between 2019 and 2025, though all cases were reported as eradicated.

Building systems have shown intermittent problems with water leaks, while a 2024 inspection revealed heating system access issues. The property has active violations as of 2025, including an unresolved citation for failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection. A rodent inspection in 2022 showed rat activity, though subsequent inspections showed compliance. While some maintenance issues have been addressed, the building continues to experience recurring problems with basic services, particularly heating and hot water, as well as ongoing challenges with pest control and access for inspections.
