1689 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The three-story, four-unit building at 1689 8th Avenue in Windsor Terrace, owned by Ben Atkins, has a concerning record of pest-related violations spanning several years. Most notably, there is a consistent pattern of unfiled bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, with each violation citing non-compliance with HPD requirements regarding annual bedbug reporting—a situation that potentially affects resident safety and comfort.
Additionally, the property has experienced ongoing rodent issues, particularly evident in 2017 when multiple inspections (April and May) resulted in either failure or rat activity detection. This pattern continued into 2019, with inspections on February 6 and February 28 both noting rat activity.
While there was one successful rodent inspection in June 2018, the overall trend suggests recurring challenges with both rodent and bedbug management. Built in 1931 and classified as an Old Law Tenement, this building's history indicates persistent pest control compliance issues over at least eight consecutive years, with the most recent violations being the most concerning in terms of potential resident impact.
