8116 Ridge Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11209

8116 Ridge Boulevard is a 21-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, and owned by John Calise. Built in 1921, this property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. The most recent concerns involve flooring issues reported in May 2024, and significant mold problems identified in October 2023 in Apartment A6, affecting both the bathroom ceiling and west wall, with violations issued under Housing Maintenance Code § 27-2017.3.

The building has a documented history of water-related issues, with heavy flow water leaks reported in 2019 and 2018, and multiple emergency complaints regarding cooking gas problems in July 2019. Additional maintenance concerns have included door/wall issues (2019), rodent sightings (2018, with inspections showing passed results), and various safety violations documented in 2019 related to building management requirements such as missing janitorial services notices and security concerns with the vestibule door lock. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, as evidenced by eight consecutive annual reports from 2019 to 2025 showing zero reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

The building's inspection history reveals a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with the majority being addressed and closed through proper inspections and violation issuance. Notable improvements were made in response to 2019 violations, including repairing broken locks, addressing smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues, and improving window guards throughout public areas. These violations were certified as corrected by October 2019, demonstrating some capacity for timely resolution of maintenance issues when properly documented through official channels.
