1504 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215

Located in Brooklyn's South Slope neighborhood, 1504 8th Avenue is a four-story, 8-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Arnold Rosenshein. The property has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2025 (with rodent sightings in June and April) and repeated instances of rat activity documented through multiple inspections and service requests. The building underwent three inspections in 2022 alone, with findings of rat activity in March and May, though bait was applied in June.

The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has identified violations requiring follow-up inspections in multiple instances, most recently in April 2025. The building experienced indoor air quality concerns in late 2018, with two separate complaints about chemical vapors, though the final resolution is not detailed in the records. That same year, Housing Preservation and Development inspections in November 2018 revealed issues with fire escape egress obstruction due to household items on the third-story balcony, though these violations were subsequently closed.

The property has shown a consistent record of bedbug-free status between 2018-2024, with all annual reports indicating zero infested units. Previous complaints from 2018 related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, were investigated and closed without violations being issued. While the building's recent history shows persistent rodent activity requiring ongoing attention, other historical issues appear to have been resolved through proper inspections and interventions.
