811 Classon Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11238

811 Classon Avenue, a 12-unit, 3-story Old Law Tenement built in 1920 and currently owned by Zach Spira, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there were multiple construction-related violations including work without proper permits, failure to obey stop work orders, and unsafe construction practices resulting in substantial fines.

The building has persistent sanitary concerns, with open HPD complaints from May 2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage issues that inspectors were unable to evaluate due to lack of access. Historical maintenance records show a water leak complaint from 2018 that also could not be inspected. The building has an active rodent control program, with multiple inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2025, though recent inspections have resulted in bait application.

The property has documented compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2018 to present, showing no reported infestations during the specified periods. However, there are numerous Department of Buildings violations still pending as of October 2024, including failure to certify corrections for immediately hazardous conditions and multiple years of unfiled external low pressure inspections. The building's construction history shows frequent permit activity, with multiple permits issued between 2022 and 2025 for various work types, though several related complaints indicate work was sometimes performed without proper oversight or in violation of existing orders.
