The 6-unit, 3-story brick tenement building at 1683 8th Avenue in Windsor Terrace, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Margaret Brunn, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months. Between April and May 2025, there were multiple complaints (three separate reports) regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, and the building faced significant heat and hot water issues in January 2025, with multiple complaints from multiple tenants.
An inspection in late 2024 identified several violations in Apartment 1R, including defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and excessive hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees. Additional violations from 2024 included peeling paint in kitchen and bathroom areas requiring remediation. The building's maintenance history shows recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints in January 2025.
It has undergone several inspections regarding rodent activity, particularly in 2017-2019, with initial failures indicating rat presence, though more recent inspections in 2021 showed compliance. The property also had issues with safety equipment, as evidenced by violations regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in 2024. While the building has generally maintained bedbug-free status between 2017-2024, there was a notable violation in 2019 regarding the failure to file an annual boiler inspection report, which resulted in a $1,000 penalty.
