45 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

45 South 8th Street is a 6-story, 14-unit residential building in Williamsburg, constructed in 2003 and currently owned by Simon Eisenfeld. The building has experienced recurring rodent issues, with the most recent DOHMH complaint in July 2024 resulting in identified violations that require follow-up inspections. Multiple rodent bait applications took place in early 2025, though a compliance inspection in April 2025 passed.

The building underwent significant housing maintenance code violations in February 2023, primarily related to public hall conditions, including encumbrances in stairways, a broken fifth metal nose and concrete tread, and various repair needs including a defective fire retardant ceiling. Self-closing door issues were noted for both the roof bulkhead and apartment 3B. These violations were certified as corrected between March and April 2023.

The property also has a historical environmental control board violation from 2019 related to emergency phones and an expired test tag, which was resolved with a penalty of $1,562. Notably, the building has maintained an excellent record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations or required eradications across multiple annual reporting periods from 2020 through 2023. While there have been multiple rodent-related inspections and treatments, the building's overall maintenance record shows efforts to address and correct various violations, particularly those identified in the 2023 inspections. The most recent rodent activity was documented in mid-2024, with ongoing monitoring and treatment in 2025, suggesting continued attention to pest management at the property.
