70 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218
70 East 8th Street in Windsor Terrace is a 6-story, 62-unit residential building constructed in 1956, currently owned by Abraham Fried. The property has experienced persistent pest-related issues, particularly during 2024-2025, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests, including rodent sightings and a documented rat activity inspection in October 2024. The building underwent several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in late 2024 and early 2025, though HPD was unable to access some areas during these inspections.
A notable cluster of complaints occurred between November 2024 and March 2025, including plumbing issues (toilet problems) and electrical concerns (outlets/switches), though HPD inspections found no violations for some of these complaints. The building's elevator system has been a recurring area of concern, with multiple complaints registered between 2020 and 2025 regarding single device service and no alternate service. These complaints resulted in several violations, though most were resolved or dismissed after inspections.
Environmental control board violations indicate ongoing regulatory oversight of the elevator system, with an active violation as of October 2024 regarding the parking structure's required observation report. The building has maintained a bedbug-free status in its most recent required filings from 2022-2024, and while there have been multiple rodent activity reports between 2022 and 2024, the most recent inspections from 2023-2024 recorded passing results in some instances. The property has also faced various apartment-specific issues, including multiple violations related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water leaks, and appliance maintenance, particularly in apartment 6J.
