82 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 10-unit, 5-story residential building at 82 South 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Simon Eisenfeld and constructed in 2000, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past five years. Most recently, in May 2024, a Class C violation was recorded regarding defective self-closing doors at the west bulkhead leading to the roof. This followed a pattern of similar door maintenance issues, as evidenced by a 2022 inspection that identified multiple violations related to roof bulkhead and boiler room doors requiring repair or replacement.

The building also faced some concerning infrastructure issues in 2022, including a Class B violation for roof leaks above the ceiling at the bulkhead to the roof, and multiple violations regarding the roof bulkhead's fire-retardant ceiling and its required light-colored paint. Earlier violations from 2020 and 2021 focused on safety compliance, including the need to post carbon monoxide detector requirements and housing information guides in common areas. These years also saw the building complete its annual bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units between 2019-2023.

The property has some outstanding concerns requiring attention, most notably an active DOB violation from 2019 regarding elevator defects that has persisted for several years. While many previous violations have been resolved or dismissed, the recurring nature of door-related issues and the long-standing elevator violation suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by the majority being certified as corrected, though specific closure dates were not consistently provided in the records.
