4013 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 4013 14th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Israel Gelman and constructed in 1899, presents several concerning violations that have persisted over multiple years through 2025. Most notably, there is a recurring Housing Maintenance Code violation that has remained unresolved since 2021, associated with the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

This issue has been documented in violation notices for four consecutive years (2021 through 2024), indicating a pattern of non-compliance with mandatory pest control reporting requirements. In addition to the bedbug report violations, the building has accumulated multiple Department of Buildings violations related to external pressure inspections, with the most recent being issued in September 2024.

There are six active violations related to the failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for the years 2018 through 2023, representing an ongoing neglect of safety systems that require regular testing and documentation. Furthermore, there is one historical violation from November 2019 regarding a similar failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report, which suggests a longer-term trend of inadequate maintenance record compliance. While the building's age and limited unit count are typical for the neighborhood, the accumulation of these violations raises concerns about overall maintenance practices and regulatory compliance.
