8220 Ft Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209

The 37-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 8220 Ft Hamilton Parkway, owned by Reuven Furer, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to heating and plumbing systems. The most pressing recent concerns include ongoing rodent control challenges, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout 2024, and a December 2024 rodent inspection that failed for unspecified reasons.

In early 2025, there were multiple water-related incidents, including slow and heavy leaks that resulted in violations being issued. The building experienced recurring heat and hot water outages throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with several emergency complaints filed and violations noted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building's maintenance history shows continued infrastructure challenges, with violations for blocked fire escapes (2022), water damage and mold issues (2021), and various building code violations including encumbrances in public hallways and ceiling repairs needed.

Most violations have been subsequently closed, though there are some active violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements as of 2022. The property has maintained a consistent record of being free from bedbug infestations over multiple reporting periods from 2021 to 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 indicate potential sanitary concerns including unsanitary conditions and garbage storage issues noted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While the building has experienced various system failures and maintenance issues, the ownership group has typically responded to service requests and complaints, with many violations being corrected or closed through official inspections and certifications.
