816 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

816 8th Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit residential building in Park Slope, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by Jeff Winter. The building's maintenance record shows several infrastructure-related issues between 2018 and 2019, including a defective boiler (July 2019) which resulted in an Environmental Control Board violation regarding safety concerns in the boiler and gas meter rooms, and problems with an elevator (January 2020) - though in both cases, inspections found no violations at the time.

More recent history shows a complaint in 2021 about vaccine mandate non-compliance, which was addressed by city authorities. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding pest control, with official bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation in any dwelling units, and no eradication efforts required. The property's most significant ongoing concern appears to be the active ECB violation from July 2019 related to the boiler room's condition, including defective lighting, inappropriate storage, and inadequate ventilation.

While this violation has been outstanding for an extended period, it should be noted that the building has had no reported bedbug issues in over five years, and the frequency of complaints has decreased in recent years. The building has undergone regular inspections and reported no violations during these checks, though some complaints were ultimately dismissed upon inspection. The property's complaints history suggests that while there have been various maintenance issues over the years, particularly with its mechanical systems, prompt attention has generally been paid to resolving these matters when they arise.
