8501 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11209
8501 3rd Avenue is a 42-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by James Dimitriades. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints documented between 2022-2025, including several incidents in late 2023 where HPD responded to reports of lack of heat and hot water.
In late 2023, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to safety systems in Apartment D11, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as problems with plaster surfaces and paint conditions. The property has also faced challenges with commercial food safety, evidenced by multiple DOHMH inspection complaints in 2024-2025 regarding kitchen conditions and food handling practices. The building's recent history includes two active illegal conversion complaints filed in 2024, while an environmental violation from 2024 remains open concerning unpermitted work related to a stucco structure.
Previous years have shown consistent maintenance and compliance challenges, including a notable sequence of heat/hot water complaints in late 2023, water leak issues in October 2023, and the presence of rodent activity confirmed in 2022 inspections. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in official filings from 2019 through 2024. While many past violations have been resolved, including those related to gas leak procedures and safety system requirements, the building continues to face recurring issues with basic utilities and building systems that warrant attention.
