314 Sumpter Street, Brooklyn, NY 11233

314 Sumpter Street is a two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, owned by Al Kalfe and constructed in 1924. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and safety events over the past few years. Between 2018 and 2022, multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded, with the most significant cluster occurring during a June 2018 inspection.

This inspection revealed several safety equipment issues, including missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detecting devices in the first-floor apartment (1F), along with building-wide notification requirements that were not properly maintained regarding gas leak procedures, housing information guides, and various safety notices. Additionally, there were specific maintenance issues in apartment 1F regarding a defective refrigerator gasket and an entrance door self-closing mechanism. More recently, the building's pest management efforts appear to be consistently maintained, as evidenced by six consecutive bedbug reports between 2021 and 2025, all indicating zero infested dwelling units, eradicated units, and re-infested units.

The most recent report from May 2025 confirms no active infestations for the reporting period of November 2023 to October 2024. The building's permit history shows three related permits issued in May 2019 for plumbing (PL) and exterior work (EW), though no specific details about the scope of work are provided in the available data. While the building has had multiple violations in the past, the consistent pattern of bedbug reporting and the closing of various violations suggest improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the data does not provide a complete picture of current building conditions as of 2025.
