8701 Ridge Boulevard, Brooklyn, NY 11209
8701 Ridge Boulevard is a 6-story, 43-unit New Law Tenement building located in Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, and owned by Mary Reichel. Built in 1926, the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to water leaks, mold, and elevator problems. Most recently, in late 2024, there were two simultaneous reports of mold (November 13 and 16), and earlier that year (January 2024) a heavy water leak was reported.
Throughout 2023, multiple water leak incidents were documented, including both heavy and slow leaks in September. The building experienced heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building in March 2023, though these problems were reported to have been resolved relatively quickly. The elevator system has been a persistent source of concern, with numerous complaints filed between 2022 and 2024 regarding its operation and safety features.
Recent building violations include an active Class B violation from October 2023 regarding plaster and paint issues in apartments D6 and E6, and multiple unaddressed elevator-related violations from 2022-2023 with associated penalties totaling over $4,000. The building has also faced sanitation-related challenges, including visible mold conditions in multiple apartments (most notably E6) between 2021-2024, though recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) show no infestations. An inspection in December 2022 showed the building passed all rodent inspections. While some historical violations have been resolved, including earlier issues with water leaks and elevator safety, the most pressing current concerns appear to be the recent mold complaints and ongoing elevator maintenance needs, as evidenced by both the number of tenant complaints and the existence of active violations.
