140 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
140 8th Avenue is a 6-story, 94-unit residential building constructed in 1936 and currently owned by Maryfrances Shaughnessy in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and construction activities in recent years, with the most pressing current issue being an active Department of Health complaint from July 2024 regarding construction lead dust in common areas. The building has experienced recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024, though no actual infestations have been reported.
A notable incident occurred in April 2024 when several serious safety violations were recorded regarding incorrect use of parapet clamps and unsafe conditions during construction, leading to $5,250 in penalties, though these were subsequently resolved. The property has a history of various maintenance and safety inspections, including a concerning exterior lighting violation from 2019 that remains open. Previous inspections revealed issues with electrical wiring in 2020, which was promptly addressed, and there was an earlier incident involving rodents in the spring of 2018.
The building has undergone multiple construction projects between 2018 and 2020, with several permits issued for exterior work, and while most complaints received during these periods were closed with no violations warranting enforcement, there were three ECB violations in 2018-2019 related to building safety requirements regarding scaffolding and pedestrian protection. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since late 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years. Multiple Department of Buildings compliance inspections have been conducted, most recently focusing on Local Law 188/17 compliance in 2024, which was completed with no enforcement action required. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most have been resolved promptly, though the current lead dust complaint represents the most significant ongoing concern as of July 2025.
