1039 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 1039 East 14th Street in Midwood, owned by Uzi Mizrahi and constructed in 1997, has experienced several noteworthy events related to pest control and reporting compliance over the past few years. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a rat sighting reported through the 311 system, though this was not directly linked to any specific unit and was ultimately closed due to prior complaints about the same location.

An initial rodent inspection conducted shortly thereafter in May 2025 resulted in a passing grade. The building has been subject to recurring Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, specifically failing to file the necessary annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD rules. These violations have persisted across multiple inspection dates from 2021 through 2024, though a previous annual bedbug report filing for the period from November 2020 to October 2021 indicated no infested units, no units requiring eradication, and no re-infestations.

The most recent inspections in 2024 and 2023 resulted in open violations for not filing the required bedbug reports, continuing a pattern of non-compliance that had been documented in earlier violations from 2021 and 2022, during which time the building had been previously cited for the same issue. While the building has passed its most recent rodent inspection in May 2025, the history of bedbug reporting violations suggests ongoing challenges with compliance to housing maintenance regulations. It's worth noting that the bedbug report filing in August 2022 covered the period from November 2020 to October 2021, during which no infestation problems were documented, though this was a retrospective filing rather than an indication of current conditions.
