109 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 5-story residential building at 109 South 8th Street in Williamsburg, currently owned by Kalman Schwartz, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is a current water leak situation reported in September 2023, classified as a heavy flow emergency, which was closed without inspection access by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

The building has also accumulated multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with three identical violations issued on September 23, 2024, and at least five others issued in June 2023 and June 2020 for failure to file required inspection reports, indicating ongoing regulatory non-compliance in this area. In terms of pest management, the building has maintained a clean record, with no reported bedbug infestations during the most recent reporting period from November 2022 to October 2023.

The 4-unit building, constructed in 2002 as a New Law Tenement, is being monitored for these ongoing issues, particularly the water leak situation which could potentially impact resident comfort and safety. While the building's age is relatively new for New York City standards, these maintenance and regulatory compliance issues suggest some challenges in property upkeep and management.
