73 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The four-story, four-unit building at 73 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Nicholas Lamonica, has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk safety and construction compliance over the past two years. Most recently, in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding inadequate or defective sidewalk sheds/scaffolding, with one closed complaint resulting in no violations being warranted upon inspection in May 2025, and another active special operations compliance inspection ongoing.

The building has a pattern of sidewalk shed-related complaints, with violations served in July 2024 and December 2023. A significant violation is currently active as of May 2023, requiring approximately 35 linear feet of sidewalk shed protection at exposure #1 and approximately 85 feet at exposure #2, including extensions for adjacent properties. The building's compliance history shows variable inspection outcomes, with some inspections finding no violations while others resulted in oath violations being served.

Additional concerning events include a failed inspection in May 2023 regarding a Certificate of Occupancy issue, where the inspector was unable to gain access for final verification. However, on a positive note, the building's recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 shows no reported infestations or re-infestations in any dwelling units, indicating successful pest management during this period. The building, constructed in 1893, appears to be navigating ongoing challenges with construction safety compliance, particularly regarding temporary sidewalk protection, while maintaining a good track record in pest management.
