519 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215
The four-story, eight-unit New Law tenement building at 519 8th Street in Park Slope, owned by Arnold Rosenshein, has experienced some troubling recent patterns regarding improper short-term rentals. Most concerning is an active complaint as of November 2024 regarding an illegal conversion, which followed an earlier complaint from August 2024 about illegal hotel rooms in the building, both times resulting in inspectors being unable to gain access for verification.
These incidents suggest potential unauthorized modifications to the building's intended residential use. The building has an outstanding violation from June 2022 that remains active, though specific details about this violation are not provided in the records. On a more positive note, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years.
Annual bedbug reports from 2018 through 2024 show consistently recorded periods with zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and no instances of re-infestation. This demonstrates effective pest management practices within the building. While the illegal rental activity and outstanding violation warrant attention, the building's pest control record suggests generally good maintenance in that regard as of the latest available data.
