174 South 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211
174 South 8th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building owned by Yitty Saks in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement, the property has experienced notable pest control challenges in recent years.
Most significantly, there is an ongoing pattern of bedbug-related violations, with the Department of Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) documenting four consecutive failures to file the required annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, with the most recent violation recorded in April 2024. Between 2024 and 2025, the building has undergone extensive rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024 and early 2025. The building's most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 resulted in a passing grade, following several instances of documented rat activity between April 2024 and March 2025, including two compliance inspections in May 2024 that identified rat activity.
The property has maintained its residential status despite these pest control challenges, with a single construction-related complaint recorded in 2019 that was closed in 2020 due to inspector access issues. The repeated nature of the bedbug and rodent violations, particularly during 2024, suggests ongoing pest management challenges, though the recent pass in rodent compliance inspection indicates some improvement in pest control efforts. While the building has complied with housing maintenance requirements regarding pest control response (as evidenced by multiple bait applications), the historical pattern of violations points to persistent pest management issues that have required ongoing attention from property management.
