280 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
280 14th Street is a 5-story, 25-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Brian Garland. The building has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints between April and June 2025, often followed by reports of system restoration before inspections could confirm violations.
Additional concerns include unsanitary conditions, with a pest infestation complaint recorded in April 2025 and repeated rat activity observed during rodent inspections from 2023 through 2024. Apartment 4B has documented housing maintenance code violations from 2024, including issues with pests, lighting, plumbing, and various repairs needed for proper maintenance. The building has also faced structural concerns, with complaints in 2024 regarding wall stability and bulging.
A serious environmental control board violation remains active as of June 2024, indicating disrepair of the parapet at the fifth-floor window with missing bricks, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed. While there have been isolated incidents of bedbug infestations between 2018 and 2020, recent filings from 2021-2024 indicate no current issues with this pest type. The building's combined history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, with some structural and safety concerns that require continued monitoring.
