105 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 5-story, 13-unit tenement building at 105 South 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Desiree Fryson, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in late 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding various building systems including appliances (electric/gas range and refrigerator), doors/windows, electrical systems, and flooring, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these issues at that time.

In 2019, violations were documented for specific issues in apartment 3A, including problems with window sashes and a loose kitchen cabinet, though these violations were certified as corrected by November 2019. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, with no reported infestations in the last five consecutive annual reporting periods from 2021 to 2025, following an initial incident in 2018 involving two units that were subsequently treated and resolved.

A bedbug violation was issued in April 2021 regarding the failure to submit an annual report, but this was closed following compliance. The most recent HPD inspection occurred in April 2021, and while the violation related to the bedbug report was addressed, the inspection results did not show any major ongoing issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues with both major systems and interior elements, though many of these have been addressed through the enforcement of violations and subsequent repairs.
