1114 New York Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11203

The 35-unit, 6-story apartment building at 1114 New York Avenue in East Flatbush, owned by Michael Haas, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in June 2025, there have been two ongoing violations related to smoking or vaping in smoke-free areas, which prompted warnings from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to the property owner. In 2024, the building faced multiple significant issues, including unsanitary mold conditions (with documented violations in apartment 6D), water leaks, and heat/hot water problems affecting the entire building.

Access issues during inspections hindered verification of some complaints, though violations were confirmed in several cases. The building's maintenance history also reveals concerns about elevator service continuity, with complaints in 2020 and 2021 noting the lack of alternate service during device outages. Other documented violations include pest infestations (notably in apartment 2A in 2021), window and door maintenance issues, and several failed attempts to gain access for inspection purposes. The structure's history shows a pattern of unresolved maintenance access issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints and various inspections.

The building has maintained clear status on bedbug reports over the past seven years, with no recorded infestations or treatments since 2019. Various other maintenance and safety concerns have been documented, including problems with building entrances, fire escape obstructions, and issues requiring window pane repairs. While many violations have ultimately been resolved, the frequency of complaints and the patterns of access issues during inspections suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident access to services. The property also has a history of failure to file energy benchmarking reports in 2020-2021, though these violations were dismissed following confirmation of submissions.
