8 Lynch Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

The 7-story, 14-unit residential building at 8 Lynch Street in Williamsburg, built in 2007 and owned by Simon Ross, has experienced several notable events and violations over its history. Most recently, there are active concerns regarding the building's maintenance, with violations issued in 2023 for failure to maintain exterior walls, including a noted crack in the third-floor balcony mortar joint on the west elevation, and issues with illegal structural balcony extensions and missing critical examination reports from 2018-2022.

The building has also faced ongoing compliance challenges with required documentation, including multiple violations for failure to submit the FISP (Façade Inspection Safety Program) reports, external low pressure inspection, and benchmarking reports between 2019-2023. In 2022, the building underwent inspections that revealed several fire safety and maintenance issues, including problems with fire doors, stairway encumbrances, and damaged public areas, all of which have since been resolved. Historical records show the building was responsive to bedbug reporting requirements, with no confirmed infestations reported from 2019 to present.

The property has experienced two significant complaints related to permits in 2018-2019, resulting in a partial stop work order and oath violation. Earlier violations from 2018 required the posting of various safety and regulatory notices in the public areas, some of which remain active according to current records. While many past violations have been resolved and building systems appear to be functioning normally (with no recent elevator or boiler issues reported), the current active violations regarding building envelope maintenance and the façade inspection requirements suggest ongoing regulatory compliance challenges for the property.
