2111 Beekman Place

The 61-unit, 6-story Beekman Flats building, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Yechiel Weinberger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Most recently, there have been multiple concerns regarding water supply and plumbing issues, including a water supply emergency in May 2025 and an unresolved water leak complaint from March 2025. There have also been recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations (February 2025) and multiple smoking violations in smoke-free areas (April 2025). The building's heating and hot water systems have also faced challenges, with complaints recorded in both February and April 2025, though inspections did not reveal housing law violations.

The property has four open violations from a July 2024 inspection of apartment 5A, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and various maintenance concerns requiring repainting and repair work. An exterior facade issue was documented in March 2024, with violations for defective stucco and brick work. The building's mechanical systems have shown varying reliability, with a complaint about building shaking in March 2024 and an elevator service issue noted in November 2022. While more recent inspections have serviced various complaints, there are patterns of difficulty in gaining access for inspections, as seen in several HPD cases. Notably, the building's record shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no affected units across multiple annual filings from 2019 through 2025, and rodent inspections have shown mixed results, passing in 2022-2023 but failing for "Other Reasons" in September 2023. The property has also maintained compliance with energy efficiency display requirements as of 2024, after previous violations were dismissed.
