5201 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219
The six-story, 41-unit building at 5201 14th Avenue in Borough Park, owned by Shmiel Tessler and constructed in 1932, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with documented emergencies in January 2023, February 2019, and multiple instances in late 2018 affecting the entire building. The property has also faced several maintenance challenges, including multiple open violations from October 2023 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building entrance and compactor areas, and issues with a back door leading to the yard.
These maintenance violations include a Category C designation, indicating they require prompt attention. The building's history reveals a mix of environmental and safety concerns, including air quality complaints in 2020 related to chemical vapors (which were investigated with no violations cited), and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements between 2022 and 2024. Notable historical issues include an elevator safety violation from 2021 and an illegal conversion complaint in 2020.
The property has maintained a relatively clean record regarding pest management in recent years, with bedbug reports from 2021-2024 showing zero infested units, and rodent inspections in 2016 generally showing compliance, though there was one failed inspection for "Other Reasons." The building has faced challenges with timely energy benchmarking report submissions, resulting in multiple violations from 2019-2022, though many were subsequently dismissed upon confirmation of submission. Recent inspections have shown improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filing showing no infested units for the 2023-2024 period. The property has undergone various inspections and maintenance actions over the years, with most violations being addressed or closed, though some remain active as of the latest inspection dates.
