1038 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230
The three-story, three-unit building at 1038 East 14th Street in Midwood, owned by Chik Yin Lui and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in late 2023 and early 2024. Currently, there are two open violations from December 2023 on the 3rd floor related to lead-based paint hazards, specifically regarding failure to provide required records and notifications. The building underwent substantial renovation work in late 2023, which resulted in two Environmental Control Board violations for illegal work during a stop-work order, totaling $6,250 in penalties (though these have since been resolved).
Resident complaints during 2023-2024 included issues with heat/hot water (November 2023), wall conditions (November 2023), and a broken window guard (December 2023), though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2020, with no infestations reported in the last three filings (2021, 2022, and 2023). Earlier issues from 2017 included rodent inspection failures, though these appear to be dated.
The property's recent history shows concerning patterns of unauthorized construction work and access difficulties during inspections, particularly regarding Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections in 2025. While some violations from previous years have been resolved, the ongoing lead paint-related violations from December 2023 represent the most significant current regulatory concern. The building has maintained basic compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has undergone periodic inspections, though access issues have hindered some inspections, as noted in several recent Local Law 188 violations.
