65 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The five-story, 14-unit tenement building at 65 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Emma Degeorge, has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, as evidenced by back-to-back heat and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, along with several similar incidents since 2020. The building has documented water-related problems, with multiple slow leak complaints between 2019 and 2020, and various maintenance issues including gas complaints in 2020, window frame violations in late 2019, and flooring problems that same year.

More recent concerns include three open bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, and active violations from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018 and 2022. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple housing code violations across different categories. In 2020, there were several issues related to door functionality and safety, including self-closing door requirements not being met in apartments 8, 13, and in the bulkhead exit to the roof.

Apartment 14 has been specifically noted for various issues, including problems with its carbon monoxide detector and faucet repair needs. Historical data from 2012 shows recorded rodent activity, though this may no longer be relevant to current conditions. While most complaints have been resolved through HPD inspections, recurring issues such as heat/hot water problems and the bedbug report violations indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with building systems that directly affect resident comfort and safety.
