412 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The 32-unit, 4-story residential building at 412 8th Avenue in Park Slope, owned by Dean Alesso, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting unit 3C. As of July 2025, there are active violations from December 2024 regarding exposed plaster and wood in the bedroom, as well as various unresolved maintenance issues including mold, damaged flooring, and plumbing concerns.

A notable pattern of access-related inspection failures occurred throughout 2025, with multiple appliance and flooring complaints not being properly inspected. The building has a history of construction-related problems, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints about work without proper permits in 2023, though these were ultimately dismissed with no violations found. Most concerning are the open violations from 2023-2024 affecting unit 3C, which include issues with plaster surfaces, window frames, flooring, kitchen cabinets, bathroom tiles, and various appliances.

The building has also faced multiple Environmental Control Board violations, including a partial stop work order for electrical work in December 2024 and several penalties related to maintenance failures, though some were later resolved. Despite these numerous complaints and violations, the building has demonstrated good pest control management, with no reports of bedbug infestations in the past three years and having passed a rodent inspection in 2018. Recent 2025 complaints have focused on paint/plaster issues, unsanitary conditions, and flooring problems, with multiple emergency and non-emergency violations recorded in June 2025, though many of these were subsequently closed following HPD inspections.
