1188 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The two-story, four-unit building at 1188 East 14th Street in Midwood, owned by Kathryn Feigenbaum, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly affecting Apartment 1R. The property has multiple open violations, including two bedbug reporting violations from March and April 2024. In February 2023, the building received multiple emergency complaints that were subsequently closed, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, non-functioning lighting, door problems, window frame issues, mold, and electrical outlets.

A notable pattern emerged in early 2023 involving violations related to basic safety systems, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which required department intervention. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections revealing various maintenance issues that remain open as of 2025. These include safety concerns about door security, defective window components, and problems with the electrical system.

Specifically, there are unresolved violations regarding a self-closing door, defective carbon monoxide detecting devices, inadequate electric service to ceiling fixtures, and issues with bathroom sink plumbing in Apartment 1R. Additionally, there is an outstanding violation from December 2022 regarding visible mold in the bathroom ceiling of Apartment 1R, which was deemed serious enough to be upgraded to Class B status. The building's history suggests ongoing challenges with basic maintenance and safety systems, particularly affecting one specific unit.
