114 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11249

This four-story, 8-unit old law tenement building at 114 North 8th Street in Williamsburg, owned by Isaac Weiss, has been in operation since 1900 and has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past five years. Particularly notable are three separate incidents of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between late 2022 and early 2023, along with one incident in 2020.

The building has also faced several safety and maintenance concerns, including recent sprinkler system issues (May 2023) and mailbox problems (December 2022 and May 2023), though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations in these cases. More recently, as of April 2024, there are two active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure and boiler inspection reports from 2017 and 2022, respectively. The property has a history of inspection attempts regarding potential illegal conversions between 2019 and 2023 at the adjacent address (11249), though inspections were either unable to gain access or found no violations at the time.

Recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 consistently show zero infested units, and while there was initial rat activity in June 2022, a subsequent inspection in September 2022 passed without issues. The building's maintenance record shows regular bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with no recorded infestations since 2021, though violations were issued in 2023 for failure to file the annual bedbug report. Despite these challenges, the building has shown improvements in recent inspections, with the 2024 bedbug report showing no infestations or eradications, and the 2023 reports indicating successful pest management.
