6703 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11220

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 6703 8th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Jhvm Management Llc, has experienced significant maintenance issues in 2025, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Between January and February 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some instances requiring HPD intervention.

Several other maintenance issues emerged during this period, including problems with paint and plaster in ceilings and walls, a water leak, and unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions. While most complaints were eventually closed, some inspections were unable to be completed, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building also has two active DOB violations (as of October 2023) for failing to file required external low-pressure inspections in 2024 and 2023, demonstrating potential regulatory compliance issues.

Looking back further, the building’s history shows relatively few problems, with a single complaint in December 2022 regarding work without a permit, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The property has had no reported bedbug infestations between November 2020 and October 2021, as evidenced by three separate bedbug reports in 2022 indicating zero affected units, which suggests effective pest management during that period. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and recent maintenance history indicate some systemic infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating and plumbing systems, which have generated multiple service requests and complaints in the early months of 2025, though many issues have been addressed promptly through HPD interventions.
