296 North 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11211

296 North 8th Street is a five-story, 14-unit New Law tenement building in Williamsburg, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Eden Ashourzadeh. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly from late 2024 through 2025. Most notably, there are persistent water and plumbing problems, including a "heavy flow" water leak reported in April 2025, as well as ongoing issues with heating and hot water systems affecting multiple units. The building has also faced electrical problems, with violations issued in January 2025 for inadequate lighting and electrical systems.

December 2024 inspections revealed several violations in Apartment 4, including issues with heat supply, water leaks, and defective safety equipment, while Apartment 3 showed similar concerns regarding heat and hot water problems. The building's history includes multiple emergency complaints in recent years related to basic services such as heat, hot water, and plumbing, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. An inspection in December 2024 led to various violations that required correction, though the current status of these corrections is not specified in the available data. The property has also experienced rodent activity, with multiple bait application responses recorded between 2024 and 2025, indicating a persistent pest control challenge.

Previous records from 2019 show the property faced multiple violations and enforcement actions regarding electrical and plumbing systems, including several ECB violations related to fire safety and equipment compliance, though these were eventually resolved. Importantly, the building maintains a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past eight filing periods from 2018 through 2025. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny over the years, with violations and complaints being consistently documented and requiring attention. The most recent service requests in 2025 indicate that while some issues have been addressed through HPD inspections, other complaints have been closed without inspection access, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
