925 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 6-story, 69-unit building at 925 East 14th Street in Midwood, owned by Susan Wasserman and built in 1962, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of water and heating system problems, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages in both 2025 (February and June) and earlier incidents in 2024.

The building has also faced significant interior maintenance challenges, particularly in June 2025, when multiple complaints regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues were documented, resulting in several violations. These recent complaints followed the emergence of mold issues in June 2025 and other maintenance concerns including plumbing problems in April 2025. The building's maintenance history reveals a series of concerning patterns, including an active violation from July 2022 regarding obstructed exit passageways at the rear of the building and several past issues with electrical systems, including exposed wiring in the garage documented in December 2024.

While there were confirmed pest infestations in both Apartment 1C and Apartment 7K in late 2024 (with 1C experiencing issues with mice and various maintenance problems including defective smoke detectors and leaky faucets), more recent bedbug filings from 2023-2025 show no reported infestations. The building has a mixed record of compliance with various housing codes, with some violations remaining open as of December 2024, including the need to abate rodent and roach infestations in Apartment 7K. While the property has generally passed initial rodent inspections in previous years (2015 and 2019), the persistent nature of heating, plumbing, and interior maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
