8025 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 6-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 8025 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, owned by Ahmed Atiff, has been experiencing persistent heat and hot water issues throughout 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed in December 2023 indicating building-wide problems. The building, constructed in 1931, has an active status as of July 2025 with several significant maintenance concerns.

A December 2023 inspection revealed multiple violations in apartment 3R, including missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, visible mold conditions in the bathroom, water leak issues, and problems with bathroom surfaces. The building's common areas have also faced scrutiny, with violations noted for loose wood treads on stairs and a missing vestibule door. The property has a history of building-wide heating issues, with multiple complaints filed between January and December 2023.

Additional concerns have been documented, including a cooking gas complaint in December 2023, and structural concerns were raised in mid-2023 regarding building shaking, though no violations were found upon inspection. While the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs and passed rodent inspections in 2018, the recurring heat and maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 3R, represent the most pressing concerns. The building has had several routine complaints regarding various systems, including heating, cooking gas, and building maintenance, with most issues being addressed through HPD inspections, though some violations remain open as of the latest inspection.
