2323 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The six-story, 92-unit residential building at 2323 East 12th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Zachary Kerr and constructed in 1961, has experienced recurring heating system issues over several years, with multiple tenant complaints about heat and hot water problems between 2022 and 2024. Most recently, in January 2024, violations were documented regarding inadequate heat supply in apartment 6F and access issues to the building's heating system. Previous violations show similar patterns of heating problems, including an emergency complaint in December 2022.

The building has also undergone various maintenance and safety inspections, with some notable violations including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 6E (March 2022) and inadequate lighting in the first-story vestibule (February 2022). Elevator maintenance issues were identified in 2020, resulting in ECB violations related to safety features and maintenance requirements, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years (2021-2024), and only one instance reported in 2019 which was resolved.

Rodent inspections in 2019 showed initial compliance issues that were later addressed. Historical complaints from 2019 indicate various maintenance needs, including repair and paint work in apartments 2F and 4E, though all violations have been closed. The building's heating system appears to be a persistent challenge, with complaints occurring in multiple years, while other maintenance issues have generally been addressed through proper channels. Recent permits from 2018 suggest ongoing attention to building maintenance and improvements, though specific details of the permitted work were not provided in the data.
