336 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 336 14th Street in South Slope, owned by Ethan Rozenblatt, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues throughout 2024, particularly in the latter part of the year. Most notably, there have been multiple reports and inspections related to water leaks, mold, and various building systems requiring attention, including an unsafe mold cleanup directive from the Department of Health in September 2024 and multiple HPD inspections showing no violations but indicating various maintenance issues.

The building has active violations from the Department of Buildings regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2021), though these are listed as active with no disposition comments as of June 2023. Earlier inspections revealed several safety-related concerns that have not been properly addressed, with open violations from a 2020 inspection regarding missing required safety notices for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in common areas.

While the building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2020-2024 (showing zero infested units), recent rodent inspections in early 2024 noted rat activity on the premises. Despite numerous service requests and HPD inspections throughout 2024, many of the complaints were closed without violations being cited, including multiple issues with electrical outlets, windows, and general maintenance concerns, suggesting a pattern of documented issues that may affect resident comfort and safety.
