1214 Avenue I, Brooklyn, NY 11230
1214 Avenue I is a 4-story, 40-unit residential building in Midwood, built in 1926 and currently owned by Samuel Leifer. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns centering around water leakage, pest control, and structural maintenance.
Notable recent incidents include a heavy water leak complaint in June 2025, which was inspected but resulted in no violations, and multiple paint/plaster violations documented in April 2025 affecting ceilings and walls. The building has a documented history of pest infestations, with bedbug outbreaks reported in apartments 2H (2023) and 4A (2024), and a rodent sighting complaint in May 2025 that could not be inspected. The property has faced various maintenance challenges between 2023 and 2025, including multiple heating system complaints in late 2024 that inspectors were unable to verify due to lack of access, and a safety concern regarding a broken window guard in March 2025.
Building systems have shown signs of ongoing issues, as evidenced by multiple emergency maintenance requests for water leaks, paint/plaster problems, and safety concerns. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in mid-2023 that identified fire escape access obstructions, resulting in a violation with a penalty, though this was subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, with several emergency complaints requiring attention over the past two years.
