214 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

214 Sumpter Street is a five-story, 8-unit residential building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, completed in 2018 and currently owned by 214 Sumpter LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent complaints in 2023 regarding heating and hot water (March) and plumbing concerns, though no violations were ultimately found from the latter complaint. A pattern of water-related issues emerged in late 2022, with multiple complaints about mold and a slow water leak leading to violations in apartment 2B, as well as electrical wiring and other maintenance concerns.

This unit appears to have been particularly affected, with multiple violations issued between 2020-2022 regarding plaster surfaces, water leaks, and other maintenance issues. The building has maintained good pest control records, with no evidence of bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2025). The property has undergone various repair requirements, including addressing broken plaster surfaces, window frame issues, and safety concerns such as broken window guards in 2021.

Several building-wide safety improvements were mandated in 2021, including proper notice postings for heating system contacts and gas leak procedures. Notably, some complaints have generated access issues for inspectors, particularly in 2021 regarding paint/plaster concerns and safety violations, though these issues were eventually addressed. The most recent bedbug report (June 2025) confirms zero infestations or eradications during the 2023-2024 reporting period, maintaining the building's clean pest control record.
