1711 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 1711 8th Avenue in Windsor Terrace, owned by Donald Minerva, has experienced several significant events in recent months. Most notably, in February 2025, the building received a violation related to inadequate maintenance of its rear yard, which was deemed unsafe due to construction activities at the adjacent property (1713 8th Avenue).

This situation created potential hazards from falling brick and concrete debris, with no overhead protection provided, making this an active violation as of the most recent data in October 2023. During the same period, there were two construction-related complaints, one resulting in a Partial Vacate Order, though inspections found compliance was subsequently achieved.

Looking at the building's overall history, it has maintained an impressive record regarding pest control; bedbug reporting data from 2019 through 2024 shows consistently zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all units during the annual reporting periods. Prior to the recent construction issues, the building had no recorded violations or significant complaints that would impact resident experience or safety. The owner has responded to the recent enforcement actions, with inspections taking place within days of complaints being filed, though the violation regarding rear yard safety remains active as of the latest data.
