114 Van Siclen Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

114 Van Siclen Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit tenement building constructed in 1921 in the Cypress Hills neighborhood, currently owned by Bi Y Sze. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant problems emerging in late 2024 and early 2025. Currently, there are open violations in Apartment 2 related to rodent infestations (mice and roaches) that require abatement, along with visible mold conditions on the bathroom ceiling that need to be addressed.

The apartment also has several documented repair needs, including issues with the kitchen cabinet door, bathtub porcelain finish, and hallway painting requirements as detailed in housing maintenance code violations. Multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (pests and mold) were filed in November 2024, though not all resulted in violations. The building's maintenance history shows recurring pest-related issues, particularly in 2022 and 2024, though recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 indicate no infestations.

Plumbing and general maintenance complaints have also been documented, with varying outcomes regarding violations. Despite these challenges, the property has maintained regular rodent inspections since 2009, with several passing results in recent years, suggesting some level of proactive pest management. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the years, the most pressing current concerns appear to be related to pest control, mold, and various repair needs within Apartment 2.
