140 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-unit, three-story Old Law Tenement building at 140 14th Street in Gowanus, owned by Dalia Clemente, has a documented history primarily related to bedbug reporting compliance over the past five years. Most notably, the building has maintained a consistent pattern of violations between 2021 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under the Housing Maintenance Code, though these violations were ultimately closed.

However, the most recent bedbug report filing from May 2025 for the period November 2023 to October 2024 indicates the building has had no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infested units, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements. The building underwent two rodent inspections in 2021, passing one in June after initially failing in March for unspecified reasons. While the historical violations indicate some challenges with regulatory compliance, the most recent bedbug report suggests either successful eradication efforts or a lack of infestation during the reporting period.

The building's age (constructed in 1901) and classification as an Old Law Tenement are consistent with typical Gowanus neighborhood characteristics. The documented violations are primarily administrative in nature rather than indicating active pest control issues, though the pattern of bedbug reporting violations across multiple years is notable. The property has apparently maintained its basic safety requirements, as demonstrated by the successful rodent inspection results.
