185 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

185 8th Street is a three-story, three-unit old law tenement building located in Gowanus, built in 1901 and currently owned by Dmitri Routgauzer. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident occurring in August 2021 involving unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, though no violations were issued following the HPD inspection.

Two water leak complaints were filed in December 2018, regarding a slow leak and a damp spot, but HPD was unable to gain access for inspection and these complaints were subsequently closed. While these are the only documented complaints in recent years, it's worth noting that the building was issued two class A violations in 2021 and 2022 for failing to file the required annual bedbug report, though these violations were closed without any noted infestations.

In terms of pest management, the bedbug reporting history from the building is notably clear, with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any of the five consecutive annual reports filed between 2021 and 2025. The most recent report, filed in March 2025 for the period ending October 2024, shows consistent zero infestation counts, which suggests that the building has maintained effective pest control measures since resolving the bedbug report violation issues in 2021 and 2022.
