1426 Loring Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208

1426 Loring Avenue is a four-story, 100-unit residential building constructed in 2000, currently owned by Ilsoo Kim and located in East New York. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in recent months, with multiple unresolved housing maintenance code violations and multiple failed inspections.

Most notably, in December 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 4B, including water leak issues, mold presence, and problems with plaster surfaces, windows, and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, with some of these violations classified as an emergency. The building has seen a pattern of accessibility issues during HPD inspections, with numerous complaints in 2025 (including issues with paint/plaster, plumbing, doors/windows, and general maintenance) all marked as "closed" due to inspector access difficulties. Recent rodent inspections reveal mixed results, with a failure noted in July 2025, following a passed inspection in August 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic pest issues, as evidenced by close-out violations for roach and mice infestations in various apartments, particularly in Apartment 4B and 28C (in December 2024). Additional concerns include a heavy water leak incident in April 2025 classified as an emergency, and multiple complaints regarding flooring issues. While the building has maintained a pest control protocol with zero reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the most recent inspections showing no active cases, the overall pattern of maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident communication about inspection access, as evidenced by multiple requests for residents to resubmit complaints for proper inspection access.
