56 Bay 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, three-unit building at 56 Bay 14th Street in Bath Beach, owned by John Antonucci, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2019. Most notably, there has been a recurring problem with reporting bedbug incidents, with open violations for failing to file mandatory annual bedbug reports from 2020 to 2024.

In April 2019, the building faced multiple simultaneous issues including heat/hot water outages, pest infestations, and various maintenance problems affecting multiple units. The first floor unit (1R) specifically had documented issues including bedbug infestation, electrical outlet problems, unauthorized alterations to kitchen ceiling, bathroom basin cabinet damage, and missing carbon monoxide detectors, all of which resulted in various violation notices. The April 2019 complaints and violations also encompassed broader building issues including plumbing problems, electrical lighting concerns, and door/window maintenance needs.

While these issues were eventually addressed and closed, they indicate a period of significant maintenance challenges. The most recent open violations from 2020-2024 regarding bedbug reporting compliance and a 2019 violation concerning gas leak procedures remain outstanding. The building's condition has shown some improvement since 2019, with no major building-wide complaints reported in recent years, though the persistent bedbug documentation violation suggests ongoing oversight issues.
