374 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 374 14th Street in South Slope, built in 1887, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an active open violation as of April 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with similar violations recorded in 2023 and 2021.

In 2022, the building underwent a period of construction activity that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including serious safety concerns such as the lack of proper tenant protection plans during alterations in occupied spaces and the absence of temporary flooring protection during work on the second level. These ECB violations from August 2022 remain active, with substantial penalties totaling $25,000 for the tenant protection and flooring issues, along with a separate violation related to an improperly installed construction fence with a $1,250 penalty. The property has also faced various other inspection and complaint responses, including two Local Law 188 compliance inspections in 2024, one of which was marked as completed with no enforcement action required.

Several inspections in 2022 related to construction activities investigated complaints about debris, excavation concerns, and construction work beyond approved plans, though no violations were found during those inspections. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations or eradications reported between November 2020 and October 2021, with the most recent filing period showing zero infested units. As of now, there are two immediately hazardous Class 1 violations from June 2023 related to failure to correct prior ECB violations that remain active, suggesting ongoing compliance issues that require attention.
