123 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 4-story, 9-unit building at 123 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by 123 Eighth Avenue LLC, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and most recently in January 2024, with both emergency and non-emergency designations. While some of these complaints were resolved relatively quickly, with heating restoration confirmed by tenants, the pattern of heating system problems raises ongoing concern about temperature and water supply reliability.

The building has also faced broader maintenance challenges, including two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 related to boiler room conditions, with penalties totaling $9,375, though the balance due is currently $0. These violations involve issues such as improper flue pipe securing, openings in walls and ceilings, and problems with boiler inspection display requirements. The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent filings, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023).

There are also several historical maintenance issues documented between 2018-2020, including problems with the bell/buzzer/intercom system and a 2021 violation regarding inadequate hot water supply in apartment 2F. Recent inspections in 2022-2024 repeatedly noted the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, indicating potential oversight in this administrative requirement, though more recent filings suggest this has been addressed. The building's age (built in 1894) and history of heating system issues suggest that while some maintenance matters have been addressed, residents may continue to experience periodic challenges with basic building systems.
