47 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

The 6-story, 40-unit residential building at 47 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Diane Roman and constructed in 2007, has experienced several notable incidents and regulatory interactions over the past five years. Most recently, in early 2025, the building underwent Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections with no violations found, following a series of complaints in late 2024 regarding potential illegal hotel operation, unlicensed activity, and work without permits, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these claims. The building's elevator system has been a recurring area of concern, with multiple violations documented in 2018, 2019, and 2023 related to maintenance issues, water in the pit, and safety features, though these were subsequently resolved.

The property has had intermittent heat and water issues, most notably in November 2019 when the entire building experienced loss of these services, though they were reportedly restored within days. Multiple violations related to the failure to file required annual reports (including bedbug reports and external low-pressure inspections) were recorded in 2022-2023, but were later dismissed upon proper submission. The building's rodent inspections have shown consistent compliance, with passed inspections in 2023 and 2019, and no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent five annual filings.

While there was one complaint about building vibrations in 2021, this was referred to the Department of Parks and Recreation for investigation. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a complaint was filed but no violation was warranted. The property has maintained regular reporting and compliance with various housing and building regulations, though there have been periodic lapses in timely submission of required documentation.
