340 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, four-unit building at 340 8th Street in Park Slope, owned by Hashem Elfgeeh and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in July 2022, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to mold, for which HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported problem.

The building has also experienced two significant emergency incidents: a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2021, and a flooring issue in July 2019, both of which were resolved relatively quickly after HPD verified corrections. The property has had three annual bedbug report violations between 2022-2024 for failing to submit required documentation, though the most recent report from July 2024 shows zero infested units for the period of November 2022 to October 2023.

A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in July 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access to the property to investigate. Regular rodent inspections conducted in 2010, 2011, and 2019 all passed, indicating no rodent issues were found. While some maintenance issues have arisen, particularly regarding heat and sanitation, most have been resolved relatively quickly when proper access was granted, though the recent mold complaint remains concerning due to the access issues encountered during inspection attempts.
