4018 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

4018 14th Avenue is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Borough Park, constructed in 1899 and currently owned by Meir Solomon. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2025, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various systems including plumbing (radiator and sink), electrical (outlet/switch), and ventilation systems.

While inspectors were able to verify some issues had been resolved, they could not complete inspections for several complaints. In late 2022, there were issues with pests and an electric/gas range, though these violations were subsequently verified as corrected by HPD. The building's prior history indicates various safety concerns, particularly in 2020 when violations were issued regarding the lack of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards in one apartment (Apartment 3).

Additional violations from that period included a broken window pane, faulty kitchen faucet, and obstruction of a fire escape window, all of which were eventually certified as corrected by 2022. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record since 2020, with the most recent filings (2023-2024 period) showing no current infestations, though there were previously eradicated units between 2020-2022. While the building has undergone various repairs and addressed many violations over time, the frequency of recent complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and infrastructure.
