807 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

807 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 8-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Laura Hobgood, located in the Park Slope neighborhood. The building has experienced several recurring issues, most notably with heating systems, as evidenced by multiple heat/hot water complaints in late 2024 (both entire building and apartment-specific) that required HPD intervention. In 2023, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges, including pest infestations, electrical problems, and flooring issues, with several violations issued during inspections.

Notably, the building underwent significant violations in Apartment 2F in 2023, including issues with floors, doors, plumbing, lighting, and pest infestations, though all were certified as corrected by mid-2023. The building's more recent history shows ongoing concerns with maintenance and compliance, including four "Work Without a Permit" complaints in 2024 (three from May and one from October) that resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. A significant environmental control board violation was recorded in 2018 regarding boiler-related issues, though no penalties were imposed.

The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past three years (2022-2025), and while rodent activity was identified in early 2023 inspections, there have been no subsequent reports. The property appears to have regular maintenance and inspection activity, as evidenced by the frequent resolution of complaints, though the recurring nature of heating system issues suggests this remains an area requiring attention. Note: While the building has shown improvements in some areas (e.g., no recent bedbug complaints), the frequency of heating-related issues and the pattern of "Work Without a Permit" complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
