107 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 107 South 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Emanuel Sanchez, has a history of several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in December 2023, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has been subject to recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations recorded in March and April 2023, as well as in March 2022, April 2021, and throughout 2020. These violations indicate the building has failed to submit required annual bedbug reports as per Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Additionally, the building has experienced some environmental challenges, including a 2019 complaint regarding unsanitary pigeon conditions and waste.

While this was reviewed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the resolution details are not provided in the records. The property experienced rodent issues in 2019, with initial inspections showing rat activity in June, though a subsequent compliance inspection in August 2019 passed. The most recent documented service request and violation notices suggest ongoing concerns with building maintenance and compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly relating to temperature control systems and pest management reporting requirements.
