508 Henry Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231
508 Henry Street is a 4-story, 8-unit old law tenement building located in Carroll Gardens, owned by Michael Denaro and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during the past two years, with five documented emergency complaints between December 2023 and March 2025.
While three of these complaints were resolved with confirmation of restored services during inspections, two required follow-up reports due to lack of building access during inspections. The property has also been subject to several housing violations, including an open Class C violation (as of April 2024) regarding improper posting of heating system access information, and previous violations related to door closing mechanisms. The building's maintenance history shows consistent attention to pest control, with all annual bedbug reports (most recent filed May 2025) showing zero infested units, though multiple notices were issued between 2021 and 2024 regarding filing requirements.
There have been several Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) inspections related to food establishment conditions (presumably for a ground-floor commercial space), with varying issues including rodent/insect concerns and food spoilage incidents. A 2022 complaint regarding blocked egress was investigated and resulted in an Oath violation, with a fine imposed for improper storage of materials in public hallways. The building's overall inspection record indicates periodic maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly regarding building systems and safety features, though many historical violations have been closed through compliance.
