314 39th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232

314 39th Street is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Sunset Park, constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Elies Tapia. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably in 2019 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with heat and hot water, mold, window maintenance, and fire escape safety. Specifically, during February 2019, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints, both for individual apartments and the entire building, along with issues related to unsanitary conditions including garbage storage problems and mold.

Safety violations were also noted regarding the building's fire escape system. More recent concerns include active violations as of June 2023 and September 2024 related to the failure to file required external low pressure inspections from 2018 through 2023. These recurring violations suggest ongoing maintenance compliance issues that have persisted over several years.

The building underwent various inspections and received multiple violation notices throughout 2019, including issues with garbage storage, mold, window repair (broken glass pane), and safety concerns regarding the fire escape system. Notably, there were violations related to the fire escape's drop ladder and egress defects, though many of these were subsequently addressed in 2019 through work permits that were issued and certified. The property has also experienced heating system problems, with multiple complaints filed regarding inadequate heat and hot water during winter months. More recent building management practices have come under scrutiny, as indicated by active violations for failing to complete mandatory low pressure inspections, with multiple citations issued between April 2023 and September 2024 for not filing inspections from 2018 through 2023.
