950 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

950 East 14th Street in Midwood is a 6-story, 88-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Fausto Diaz. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, particularly clustered around early 2025, with several HPD inspections revealing violations related to unsanitary conditions (including pests and mold), electrical problems, and heating issues. Most notably, there were significant heating and hot water complaints in January 2025 affecting the entire building. The building has also faced recurring elevator and boiler problems, though recent inspections indicate some resolution of these issues.

In particular, a December 2024 inspection revealed elevator maintenance issues that were documented through an Environmental Control Board violation. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing concerns with various apartments experiencing pest infestations, including a documented mice infestation in Apartment 6H (December 2024) and roach problems in Apartment 1K (June 2024). Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been issued, including issues with floor conditions, window frames, and self-closing doors. The property has maintained a record of addressing bedbug and rodent inspections relatively well, with no reported infestations in recent years after a single incident in 2020.

The building's infrastructure has faced challenges, as evidenced by the 2023 boiler violations related to hazardous conditions that resulted in monetary penalties. Recent HPD service requests and housing maintenance code complaints have shown a pattern of issues, particularly relating to heating systems, electrical outlets, and various structural elements such as flooring and window frames. The building's management has generally responded to violations, though there are instances of multiple complaints needing to be addressed simultaneously. The property's most recent documented issues focus on electrical and unsanitary conditions, with multiple violations issued in 2025 requiring correction within specified timeframes. While many previous violations have been resolved, the building's age and the frequency of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining optimal living conditions.
