8 Fountain Avenue
A handful of records on file over the last seven years, and our model sees a moderate chance of more in the next 12 months. A few records worth reading before you sign. Check whether they were closed out, and ask what was actually fixed.
This building has 7 recorded HPD violations, at or below the East New York average of 17.7.
The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts HPD violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.
The 13-story, 344-unit residential building at 8 Fountain Avenue in East New York, owned by Jericho 265 Logan Street Housing Dev Fun D Corp, was constructed in 2023 and has experienced a number of significant maintenance and safety issues during its first three years of operation. The building has logged multiple elevator-related concerns, with three active ECB violations from February 2026 showing problems with the emergency phone, main line switch, maintenance logs, and car-top inspection system, as well as consistent recent elevator maintenance complaints and service requests since 2026. There are also serious safety concerns related to the building's sprinkler system, with active ECB violations from February 2026 documenting obstructed sprinkler heads and plastic standpipe caps throughout the building.

What's in the 8 Fountain Avenue report
Is 8 Fountain Avenue rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 8 Fountain Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
- New construction. Built in 2023. Good Cause protections don't apply until 2053 (30 years after construction).
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
