506 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215

The two-unit, 2-story building at 506 8th Street in Park Slope, owned by Joseph Brideau and built in 1909, has experienced several significant events over the past five years. Most notably, the building has recurring open violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, which represent a consistent non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements. In 2019, there was a substantial period of construction activity that resulted in multiple violations, including work conducted without permits, unsafe conditions with unsecured flooring creating drop hazards, and improper debris management.

These construction-related violations generated penalties totaling $3,750, though records indicate they were later resolved. Following these issues, several permits were issued in 2019 and 2020, including plumbing and alteration work, which suggests the building underwent significant renovations during this period. The building's most recent inspection in April 2024, showing an open violation regarding bedbug report compliance, indicates that this issue remains unresolved as of mid-2025.

The property has also maintained its classification as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," which typically indicates that the building has transitioned from a different use type to a permanent residential configuration. While the construction-related violations from 2019 were addressed through permitting and resolution processes, the ongoing bedbug report compliance issues represent the most current regulatory concern for this property. The building's age and relatively small size (two units) suggest limited common areas, though the persistent nature of the bedbug report violations could indicate potential challenges with building-wide compliance response coordination.
