1614 East 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229
At 1614 East 12th Street in Sheepshead Bay, this 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building from 1927 owned by Helen Kuczynski has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024-2025. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with a notable complaint in October 2024 that HPD could not verify due to access issues. Flooring and stair maintenance has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints in 2024 resulting in some violations.
The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has conducted several inspections between 2024-2025, revealing various issues including plumbing problems, pest infestations, and problems with walls and windows, though many of these inspections resulted in no violations being found. Of particular note is the apartment B2 on the 2nd floor, which has multiple open violations from 2024-2025 related to mold, pests, broken windows, and defective safety equipment. The building's history shows some regulatory scrutiny in 2021, with multiple tenant safety inspections and several Environmental Control Board violations related to inadequate tenant protection plans and electrical work without a permit.
While these were resolved with fines, there were also some compliance inspections that showed no violations. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, and passed a rodent inspection in July 2020. The most recent permit activity was recorded in November 2020 for an Electrical Work permit, suggesting some level of building maintenance and upgrades. A boiler inspection violation from 2019 remains active, indicating this important infrastructure issue has not been resolved through proper documentation.
