Augrented Insights Report for 6917 8th Avenue

The 50-unit, 4-story residential building at 6917 8th Avenue in Dyker Heights, owned by Heshy Botknecht and constructed in 1926 as a New Law tenement, has experienced multiple recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in 2025 the building faced concerns with water leaks and mold, with violations issued following HPD inspections in May 2025. There were two documented incidents of indoor air quality concerns related to chemical vapors in late 2024 and early 2025, and pest infestations were noted as a recurring problem in August 2024.

The building has also undergone several significant repairs and corrections, including the replacement of defective locks, floor repairs, and bathroom renovations in Apartments C2 and C3 during late 2024, though a hot water issue in C3 was still listed as an open violation as of 2024-11. Three apartments (A3, C2, and C3) have had multiple violations related to sanitation, including mold, pest control, and various infrastructural issues such as radiator problems and missing safety equipment. The building's external maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, including three separate building complaints between 2020-2024 regarding structural issues, with the most recent in 2024-04 related to building shaking, though this was closed with an Oath Violation Served.

The property received violations in 2024 regarding fire escape obstructions and facade maintenance issues, with associated fines. Historical records indicate some rodent activity issues in 2012-2017, though recent bedbug reports from 2018-2023 show no infestation or re-infestation cases. Various infrastructure problems have been documented through both 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations, including plumbing issues, unsanitary conditions, and problems with building systems like heating and water supply. While many issues have been resolved through various repair actions and compliance checks, the building has exhibited recurring patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues and pest control.
