14 Duffield Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The 12-unit, 6-story brick building at 14 Duffield Street in Downtown Brooklyn, built in 1935 and currently owned by Isidore Heimann, has experienced persistent and serious heating system issues in 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems registered between January and March 2025, including attempts to inspect both whole-building and individual apartment problems. The building's recent maintenance history shows an ongoing water leak issue documented in October 2023, and seven separate heat/hot water complaints between January and March 2025, with several resulting in violations being issued. The building underwent significant construction activity in 2019-2020, which generated numerous Department of Buildings complaints and Environmental Control Board violations related to construction safety, including issues with sidewalk protection, construction fencing, and the presence of a competent person on site.
These construction-related issues led to multiple stop-work orders and some penalties, though many were resolved or dismissed. The building's systems have been subject to regular inspections since 2018, with consistent pass rates on rodent inspections and no recorded bed bug infestations in the past five years, according to the annual reports submitted by the building. The property currently shows open violations and complaints regarding heating systems that have not been fully resolved despite multiple inspections and complaints throughout 2025.
While some issues have been addressed through proper channels, such as violations being closed after inspections, the recurrence of heating system problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of construction and systems maintenance issues, particularly during the 2019-2020 period, which appear to have been mostly resolved based on subsequent inspections and violation closure notices. The most recent bed bug reports from 2024-2025 indicate that the building has maintained a pest-free status for multiple reporting periods.
