1360 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 30-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 1360 East 14th Street in Midwood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Marvin Basch, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years, with particular concerns regarding rodent activity and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a rodent-related complaint where DOHMH was unable to access the property for inspection, though a subsequent June 2025 rodent inspection passed.

Between 2023 and 2024, there were multiple complaints and inspections related to unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, with at least seven separate housing maintenance code complaints recorded, though violations were not issued in these cases. The building has also faced challenges with bedbugs, as evidenced by reports in 2023-2024 showing one infested unit, following a previous year with four units affected, all of which were reported as eradicated. Additional maintenance history reveals various issues throughout the building, including a February 2024 heat/hot water complaint that required inspection, and multiple violations in 2023 involving apartment A10 (including issues with mice infestation, water leaks, and defective plaster surfaces) that were addressed and closed.

Historical records show attention to building infrastructure concerns, including two boiler-related complaints in December 2018, though no violations were found upon inspection. The property has maintained relatively prompt response times to address violations and service requests, with most cases being closed following appropriate inspections, even when violations were not substantiated. Recent inspection records from 2023 and 2025 indicate that rodent control measures have been implemented, with the most recent inspections passing, including a December 2023 rodent inspection and a June 2025 inspection.
