1026 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The three-story New Law Tenement building at 1026 East 14th Street in Midwood, owned by Saul Kizon, has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2024, particularly between May and September. Most recently, in August 2024, multiple violations were documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including plumbing problems (baths, sinks, and an emergency plumbing issue), ceiling paint/plaster issues, flooring concerns, and unsanitary mold conditions.

Some of these violations were later confirmed during inspections on August 31, 2024, including an open violation regarding mold in a third-floor bathroom (3B) and a leaky kitchen sink issue. The building is currently facing several open violations related to building safety and maintenance standards, including requirements to post gas leak procedures, fire safety signage, and information about housing resources. There are also infrastructure concerns, such as problems with stairs and treads leading to the south yard from the first story.

Additionally, two Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 remain active, both related to failed inspections of external low-pressure systems. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of plumbing issues, mold problems, and various compliance violations that impact basic habitability and safety requirements. While some older complaints from May 2024 were closed without inspection access being gained, the more recent complaints have resulted in issued violations, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges in this 1931-built property.
