179 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

179 North 8th Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, constructed in 1910 as an Old Law Tenement. The property is currently owned by 179 North 8 St LLC and has experienced several noteworthy maintenance events in recent years.

Most significantly, in May 2025, the building had a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire structure, though these essential services were reportedly restored before the HPD inspection was conducted. The building had a violation related to the failure to file the 2021 External Low-Pressure Inspection, issued in June 2023 and dismissed in July of the same year. The property has maintained an impressive record regarding bedbug management, with annual reports filed from 2021 through 2025 consistently showing zero infested units, zero units requiring eradication, and zero re-infestations.

While there were two Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2021 and 2022 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, these appear to have been administrative in nature and were subsequently addressed. The building's most recent 311 service request for heating issues in May 2025 was classified as an emergency, though the rapid resolution suggests prompt attention to tenant concerns. Prior to the 2025 heating issue, there have been no recorded heating or hot water problems, and the building's overall violation history has been relatively minimal, with most issues being promptly addressed and closed.
