6906 8th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11228

The 25-unit, 4-story New Law tenement building at 6906 8th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Nick Marinakis and built in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in late 2023, multiple violations were documented during HPD inspections on September 27 and October 2, including problems with windows (frame issues), doors, water leaks, mold, pests, and wall conditions, with some complaints classified as emergencies.

Apartment B3 on the second story had particular problems with water leaks, mold (approximately 34 square feet at ceiling and walls), inadequate lighting, broken window controls, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Violations related to a previously installed illegal double-cylinder lock at the public hall were also recorded and subsequently certified on November 24, 2023. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years between 2018-2025.

Recent inspection history shows attention to safety systems, including a 2020 boiler violation that was resolved, and a 2024 sidewalk shed issue that resulted in a $2,500 penalty but was subsequently resolved. The property has experienced regular maintenance inspection and response activities, with most violations being addressed and closed appropriately, though some remain open, such as the lighting issue in B3 recorded in October 2023. The building's documented history shows an active response to maintenance issues, with multiple repairs and certifications completed, particularly between late 2023 and early 2024.
