1215 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
1215 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 7-unit Old Law Tenement building located in South Slope, built in 1900 and currently owned by Shin Yen. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and early 2024, including two incidents in February 2024 and one in January 2024, though in most cases heat and hot water were reportedly restored shortly after complaints were filed.
A significant ongoing concern is the presence of construction lead dust reported in November 2023. Prior to this, the building faced various maintenance issues in 2022, including units reporting unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold, though inspections revealed no violations for these complaints, except for violations related to plumbing issues. The building has undergone several safety inspections, with particular attention required for fire safety requirements in late 2022.
Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded, including issues with smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and window guard safety in 2021, though many of these violations have since been closed. The most recent bedbug report for the period November 2023 to October 2024 shows no confirmed infestations, and regular compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17 have been conducted in 2023 and 2024 with no violations found. There are also outstanding violations from 2022 regarding door closures and smoke detector issues in Apartment 7 that remain unresolved.
