392 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 22-unit, 4-story rental building at 392 14th Street in South Slope, owned by Ronen Flancraich and constructed in 2001, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2025. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with water damage and mold, particularly affecting apartments 3A and 4B, with multiple HPD complaints and violations issued between March 2023 and March 2024. Inspection records from March 2024 specifically documented water damage and wall problems in apartment 3A, and ongoing issues in apartment 4B related to plaster surfaces, ceiling conditions, and water leaks.

The building has also faced structural concerns, with three separate complaints about building shaking/vibrating/structural stability in late 2023 and early 2024. Balconies have emerged as a significant area of concern, with active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024 noting horizontal cracks on the underside of the third-floor balcony and issues with the fourth-floor balcony wall. The property has a history of various maintenance violations requiring attention, including issues with ceiling and wall surfaces, paint work, and balcony safety.

In 2021, several elevator-related violations were documented, though these have since been resolved. While the building has undergone some inspections and repairs, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaint closures and violation certifications, many issues remain open or were only partially resolved, particularly those related to structural and moisture problems. Importantly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to recent reports, with no infestations or eradications documented in the past two years. Historical records from 2016-2019 show past rodent activity, but more recent inspections suggest these issues have been addressed, as evidenced by the absence of recent rodent complaints or inspections.
