239 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story Old Law Tenement building at 239 14th Street in South Slope, owned by Laura Hobgood, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably during 2024. The second-floor apartment (2L) has documented multiple violations as of September 2024, including problems with water leaks in both the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, defective bathtub glazing, and issues with ceramic floor tiles.
There are also open violations from April 2024 regarding pest control and smoke detector issues in apartment 2R, and building-wide rat activity was confirmed in 2023 and 2024. The property experienced various infrastructure problems throughout 2024, including water leaks, power outages, and plumbing issues; however, most of these complaints resulted in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development that found no violations, with the exception of some plumbing and pest-related issues in April 2024.
The building's maintenance history shows consistent documentation of improvements, with recent violation notices being certified as addressed by September 2024. An active Department of Buildings violation exists from November 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, though this is notably older than the building's more recent maintenance issues. The building has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024, though there have been recurring rodent issues as evidenced by rat activity reports in 2023 and 2024, suggesting ongoing pest management challenges.
