4116 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 4116 14th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Leon Buksunski, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in December 2019, when Apartment 4 reported multiple simultaneous issues including water leaks, heating problems, and various maintenance concerns that led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations. These issues included a leaking roof affecting the kitchen ceiling and south wall, defective plaster surfaces, inadequate hot water supply, heating system deficiencies, and gas range problems.

Some of these violations, categorized by severity as Class C or B, were subsequently certified as corrected by late December 2019, though a heating violation remained open at that time. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in any of the dwelling units, indicating successful management of this potential pest issue. Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these have also been subsequently closed.

The Department of Buildings records show complaints regarding gas utility issues and plumbing problems in 2018-2019, though these were ultimately unsubstantiated or found to have no violations at the time of inspection. A violation related to the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report was issued in late 2019 but was dismissed in December 2022. The building has had several permits issued between 2018-2019 for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting regular maintenance and upgrades to systems within the building.
