215 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 215 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Richard Younger and constructed in 1905, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there is an active violation as of June 2023 concerning the failure to file External Low Pressure Inspection reports for multiple years (2018-2022), representing a significant oversight in building maintenance compliance.

In October 2019, issues were documented regarding the building's heating system, including a defective or inoperative boiler and problems with the boiler room access information sign, which resulted in a $310 penalty. The building underwent an inspection in April 2021 which revealed a violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, though subsequent filings from 2021 through 2024 (most recently in December 2024) indicate no bedbug infestations or eradication efforts were necessary during these periods.

The property has demonstrated some positive maintenance aspects, particularly regarding rodent control, having passed an initial inspection in November 2020 with no reported issues since. While the building has experienced various violations and compliance issues over recent years, it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting pattern shows consistent compliance once the initial violation was addressed, and the recent bedbug reports show no infestations. However, the outstanding Low Pressure Inspection violations from 2018-2022 represent the most significant current compliance issue on record.
