4207 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11232

4207 8th Avenue is a four-story, seven-unit residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Alice Yau and located in the Borough Park neighborhood. The property has experienced several significant incidents in recent years, most notably a fire in March 2023 that affected multiple floors, including apartments 4 and 6, and caused damage to the building's fire safety systems. Following the fire, there were violations related to damaged fire retardant materials in the public hallways, though most were subsequently closed.

In early 2025, the building faced multiple maintenance issues, including problems with electrical systems (lighting and wiring), window frames, pests, building security systems (bell/buzzer/intercom), and a fire escape concern, with all these complaints being closed by April 2025. The building's recent history includes several notable enforcement actions, including the discovery of illegal locks at the bulkhead door and defective self-closing doors in public areas, both noted during a November 2023 inspection. A brief period of structural concern was reported in March 2023, though a vacate order was ultimately rescinded.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four years, with all annual reports showing zero infested units. While there have been various maintenance issues requiring attention, many have been promptly addressed, as evidenced by the closure of multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations. The building's location and age are typical for the Borough Park neighborhood, and the property has undergone various repairs and system upgrades in response to identified issues, though some violations regarding building safety systems have required repeated attention.
