334 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

334 8th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building located in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and was built in 1931. The property, currently owned by Leando Frett, has experienced persistent heat and hot water issues throughout the winter of 2025, with multiple complaints and emergency violations documented between January 15 and February 2, 2025, indicating building-wide problems that affected all units.

These heat and hot water complaints generated significant tenant concern, resulting in multiple 311 service requests and HPD interventions, though many were marked as duplicates of an existing building-wide condition. The building has several ongoing regulatory issues that require attention, including four open Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations from 2021-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and smoke detector requirements.

Additionally, there are ongoing concerns about rodent activity, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2023 showing varying levels of rat activity, though a "Passed" result was recorded in July 2021. The building's maintenance history also shows issues with boiler inspections, with active violations related to the failure to file annual boiler inspection reports in 2017 and 2018, though one related violation from June 2023 was dismissed. Other past violations included concerns about scalding hot water and improper door closures in Apartment 1L, as well as concerns about hallway encumbrances documented during a 2021 inspection.
