1835 East 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11229

The 7-unit, 5-story residential building at 1835 East 14th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Abdullah Fersen and constructed in 2005, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over recent years. Most notably, the building has multiple open violations related to annual bedbug reporting requirements from 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections, which were previously documented as resolved through proper reporting between 2019-2020 with zero infested units and 8 units treated for eradication.

Furthermore, there are ongoing concerns regarding building safety and maintenance, including unresolved violations related to proper signage requirements for safety notifications, carbon monoxide detection, and smoke detector requirements. Historical building maintenance issues include a slow water leak problem documented in 2020, and more recently, a series of complaints in 2022 regarding building shaking and structural stability concerns, though these were generally dismissed upon inspection.

The property has also faced recurring issues with balcony maintenance, particularly between 2020-2022, with violations citing concerns about corroded and deteriorated balcony conditions affecting public safety. While many of these violations were ultimately dismissed or resolved, they indicate a pattern of maintenance issues requiring ongoing attention. The building has also undergone various inspections and received multiple citations for failing to maintain proper building codes, though many of these violations were subsequently resolved or dismissed based on follow-up inspections showing corrections were made.
