2317 Newkirk Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11226
2317 Newkirk Avenue is a 4-story, 14-unit residential building constructed in 1934, currently owned by Jacob Katzenstein. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being heat and hot water outages - particularly notable in December 2024 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding building-wide heating problems, though inspectors had difficulty gaining apartment access for verification. The building has also faced rodent issues, with the most recent inspections in April 2025 confirming rat activity, following multiple complaints in 2025.
Housing violations from 2024-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance needs, including problems with door systems, though inspections and repairs often show no violations upon follow-up. The building's maintenance history reveals various infrastructure challenges, including repeated heat/hot water issues, water leaks, and ceiling problems. Notably, multiple complaints between 2021-2022 involved unauthorized modifications and safety concerns, such as improper gas installations that resulted in fines.
While some violations have been resolved, several remain open as of recent inspections, particularly those related to heating systems. The property has shown periodic bedbug infestation activity, with the most recent report in 2025 showing no current infestations, following previous incidents in 2023 (1 unit) and 2022 (1 unit). Recent maintenance work has been documented through permit issuance in 2025, though historical patterns suggest ongoing challenges with timely resolution of building-wide issues.
