376 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11218

The 24-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 376 East 8th Street in Kensington, built in 1918 and currently owned by 376 Holding LLC, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heating and hot water problems, with three separate complaints between December 2024 and January 2025, though HPD inspections found no violations in some instances. The building has also faced challenges with mold, as evidenced by multiple complaints in December 2024, some of which HPD was unable to inspect.

Recent months (February 2025) have seen complaints regarding flooring issues and wall conditions, with HPD again unable to complete inspections for some of these complaints. The building's maintenance history shows several housing code violations in late 2024, including door-related issues in apartments A6 and B1, and multiple historic problems with self-closing doors in public areas. There are active Department of Buildings violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018, 2021, and 2023, though a similar complaint from October 2023 was closed with no violation found.

The property has undergone several pest control measures, with consistent reports showing zero bedbug infestations between 2021-2024, and rodent inspections show mixed results—with some inspections indicating rat activity (2020, 2022) and others passing (2019, 2023). The building has experienced various repair issues over the past two years, including problems with heating systems, doors, windows, and stairs, though many specific complaints have been resolved or closed by HPD. The property has maintained compliance with most housing regulations, though the repeated pattern of heating and maintenance complaints raises concerns about ongoing upkeep.
