541 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

541 8th Street in Park Slope is a four-story, eight-unit residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Evan Reiner. The property has faced recurring issues with pest management compliance, as evidenced by Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required. The building has also experienced rodent-related challenges, with confirmed rat sightings in 2023, including initial and compliance inspections showing rat activity in February and March of 2023, respectively.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued a violation for rodent activity in January 2023, indicating follow-up inspections would be required. More recent compliance issues include a Department of Buildings violation issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in January 2025. The property underwent two Professional Certification Compliance Audits in 2018 and 2019, which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection.

While there have been multiple violations recorded over the years, it's worth noting that some issues, such as the low-pressure inspection violation, were subsequently dismissed. The building's management has addressed certain complaints, such as obtaining a permit in July 2018 for plumbing work (Job No. 321775236), though the specific nature of the work is not detailed in the records. The persistence of bedbug reporting violations and rodent activity over multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance.
