4019 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, Class A residential building at 4019 14th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by 4019 14 LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2017 that warrant attention. Most recently, in April 2024, the building received an open violation related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report with HPD, though previous filings in 2022 and 2020 showed no infestations.

Between late 2017 and early 2018, significant safety and maintenance concerns were documented in the 3rd floor apartment (3R), including inadequate heat and hot water, an exposed circuit breaker box, and missing smoke detector - all of which were classified as Class B and C violations under the New York City Administrative Code. The building experienced two notable emergencies in January 2021 involving heat/hot water issues and a power outage, though these were promptly addressed by HPD.

Earlier, in October 2018, there were two complaints regarding site conditions that endangered workers, but inspections found no violations at the time. The property's age (built in 1930) and history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat, hot water, and electricity, suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, though there have been no documented rodent issues since a passing inspection in 2011.
