1514 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11233

1514 Eastern Parkway is a four-story, eight-unit residential tenement building owned by EP Equities, LLC and constructed in 1921, located in Brownsville. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly in recent years, with multiple complaints regarding flooring conditions throughout 2023-2025, including an open flooring complaint as of June 2025 and several closed flooring complaints that required inspection. Significant building-wide issues were reported in December 2022, including heat and hot water problems and power outages, with some violations issued during inspections.

More recent inspections in July 2024 identified several violations requiring attention, including water leakage in the fourth-story public hall, issues with fire escape doors, and various maintenance needs in apartments 2 and 4. The building's history shows some concerning patterns, including multiple violations of safety codes and maintenance requirements. In October 2023, violations were recorded regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in apartment 2, and various maintenance issues including ceiling and wall conditions.

A pest infestation was reported in June 2023, though no violations were issued, and there have been some unsanitary condition complaints in 2023, including mold. The building's common areas and public systems have experienced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple violations across different inspection dates. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a pest-free record for bedbugs in the past three reporting periods, and there have been no recent rat activity reports since 2019, suggesting some improvement in pest management.
