8422 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209

8422 3rd Avenue is a 4-story, 10-unit New Law tenement building located in Bay Ridge, built in 1928 and currently owned by Robert Silvestri. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with particular clusters of problems emerging in 2020-2021. A major cluster of violations was documented in October 2020, primarily affecting apartment 2B, including issues with the bathroom fixtures, water closet, cabinets, and various plaster/paint problems. The building had repeated heat and hot water emergencies in 2018-2019, and there were three instances of COVID-19 vaccine mandate non-compliance reported in mid-2021.

More recently, there has been one bedbug report showing no infestation between 2023-2024, and no rodent issues were recorded following a July 2019 inspection that passed. Two notable Department of Buildings violations from 2021 regarding boiler issues and scaffold removal (with $500 penalties) were recorded, though there have been no active violations since then. The building has consistently filed bedbug reports showing minimal infestation history, with only one recorded case in 2020 which was reported as eradicated. The property has undergone various repair and maintenance work between 2018-2025, with permits issued in 2019 for electrical and plumbing work.

Regular inspections and filings indicate compliance with most housing maintenance requirements, though there was one missed bedbug report requirement in 2022. While the building has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the years, many of these have been addressed and closed, with no recent pattern of recurring problems. The most recent bedbug filings (2023-2024) show zero infestation incidents, suggesting effective pest management protocols are currently in place. The building's current status as of July 2025 shows no active violations or open complaints on record since 2021.
