1771 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The two-family house at 1771 East 14th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Xiuyun Cai, has experienced several significant events since 2019, with most issues occurring during the latter half of that year. In October 2019, there were complaints about rodent issues, including mouse sightings that were reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints related to construction work and enforcement matters. These complaints resulted in inspections, with one case leading to an Oath Violation being served, though most inspections found no violations at the time.

A notable environmental control board violation was issued in October 2019 regarding inadequate housekeeping and excessive construction materials at the rear of the property, though this was later resolved with no penalties. The property underwent some construction work in 2019, as evidenced by a permit issued on August 9, 2019, for electrical work. While there were initial rodent concerns in late 2019, subsequent rodent inspections in November 2019 showed compliance with health standards.

Importantly, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the building since at least 2022, with the most recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2023 and October 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. As of October 2023, there have been no significant complaints or violations on record for this property in recent years, suggesting an improved condition since the 2019 events. The building, constructed in 1901, remains a two-story structure containing two units, with no current outstanding violations or red flags in the available building records.
