1677 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

This three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 1677 8th Avenue in Windsor Terrace, built in 1931 and currently owned by 439 16th Street Investor, LLC, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Between June 3 and June 6, 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though HPD verified corrections before closing these cases.

The building has also faced challenges with pest control, particularly in September 2023 when multiple unsanitary condition complaints were filed regarding pests, with at least one resulting in a Class C violation related to mouse infestation in Apartment 1R during October 2023. Recent inspections from October 2023 identified several building safety concerns, including defective smoke detectors and carbon monoxide devices, though many of these violations were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by late 2023. Historical records show that the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units, which indicates good management of this particular pest issue.

Earlier rodent control efforts between 2017 and 2018 showed some challenges, with several inspections indicating rat activity and the need for bait applications, but a 2018 inspection passed. The building's systems have experienced occasional heating issues, with HPD responding to similar complaints in December 2021 involving the entire building. The property has maintained regular apartment inspections, with some violations being promptly addressed, such as those requiring repairs to self-closing doors and posting of required safety notices.
