Augrented Insights Report for 238 8th Street

238 8th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Park Slope, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jakob Worley. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and rodent infestation, with significant issues documented between 2020 and 2024. Most recently, the building has faced multiple rodent-related complaints, with inspections in September and October 2024 confirming rat activity.

The property underwent various plumbing issues in 2023, including problems with heat/hot water, steam pipes/riser, radiators, and window frames, with some violations issued. Apartment 2L has been the focus of multiple maintenance violations between 2023 and 2024, including problems with water leaks, window frames, bathroom fixtures, and flooring. The building's electrical systems were the subject of multiple violations in 2021, including unapproved electrical equipment and unsafe wiring conditions, which resulted in penalties totaling $3,040.

There have been recurring heat and hot water issues documented through 2020-2023, indicating persistent building-wide maintenance challenges. While the property has shown improvements in bedbug management, with no reported infestations since 2020, the ongoing rat activity inspections in 2023-2024 suggest continued challenges with pest control. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring multiple interventions by various city agencies, with the most recent documented rodent activity occurring as recently as April 2025, despite earlier inspections in the same period showing no rat activity.
