7719 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building at 7719 14th Avenue in Bensonhurst, owned by Nezver Uruci, has demonstrated recent challenges with building maintenance and resident safety compliance. Starting in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding smoking or vaping in smoke-free areas, particularly in June and May 2025, and an unresolved issue from April 2025 concerning unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. Significantly, in February 2024, the Department of Buildings issued a violation for obstructed roof exit due to flammable/combustible household items, which was resolved with a penalty of $312.

While there were no reports of bedbug infestations in the past three years, the building has experienced recurring rodent sightings, with multiple complaints in 2023-2024, though all inspections resulted in "Passed" status. The property has several open violations from 2021-2022, including issues with plaster surfaces and paint uniformity in Apartment 1, gas supply problems in Apartment 7, and various building maintenance concerns. The building's recent history shows a pattern of compliance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple violations were documented regarding window guards, door self-closing mechanisms, and problematic plaster and paint conditions.

An April 2023 inspection for rodent conditions resulted in a "Passed" designation, suggesting some improvements in pest control. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infestations or eradications since 2019. As of October 2023, there was an open violation for failing to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved. The ongoing complaints regarding smoking violations and unsanitary conditions, combined with historical maintenance issues, suggest that while there have been periods of compliance, pattern problems with building maintenance and resident behavior persist at this location.
