61 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 61 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Stephen Zimmer, has been in operation since 1886 and bears the designation of "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building. The most pressing and recurring issue affecting this property appears to be related to bedbug reporting compliance, with four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024, each citing failure to file the required annual bedbug report as per Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

These ongoing violations, while procedural in nature, indicate a potential pattern of non-compliance with building regulations. In terms of other inspections and incidents, the building had a rodent inspection in February 2018 which it passed, suggesting no significant pest issues at that time.

A Department of Buildings complaint from July 2019 regarding an unspecified permit issue was marked as closed, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the second final attempt. Most notably, there is a recent violation recorded in May 2025, though as of October 2023 there are no disposition comments available for this case. The building's maintenance record shows regular inspections, but the persistence of bedbug report violations over multiple years is the most significant pattern in the building's recent history.
