4108 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

4108 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 6-unit residential building located in Sunset Park, built in 1931 and currently owned by Zheng Sheng Zheng. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular emphasis on pest control and safety concerns. Most recently, in 2025, there were two unsuccessful attempts by health inspectors to access the building to investigate rodent sightings and unsanitary conditions.

In 2024, there was a documented safety violation related to the fire escape, and earlier that year, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though these were resolved through HPD verification. The building has a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with multiple complaints filed in both 2024 and 2022, most of which were not able to be verified due to access issues. The property underwent a significant inspection in May 2024, resulting in several violations requiring attention, including issues with fire escape access, water leaks, damaged plaster, and encumbrances obstructing egress.

While most of these violations were certified as corrected by June 2024, there remains a pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention. Notably, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status in its most recent reports from 2022 to 2024, with no infested units reported. Historical data shows the building passed its rodent inspection in 2017, and there have been two complaints regarding failure to maintain standards in 2021, though these were either found to have no violations or the inspector could not gain access. A permit was issued in 2018 for unspecified work, and the building has had no recorded bedbug infestations since 2020.
