8008 16th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit New Law Tenement building at 8008 16th Avenue in Bensonhurst, currently owned by Andrew Ferrera and built in 1931, has maintained a relatively consistent history over recent years. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2023, receiving official violations in March 2021, February 2022, and March 2023 for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports, though all these violations are now closed.

Notably, from 2021 through 2024, the building's bedbug reporting records indicate no actual infestations, with the most recent report for the period of November 2022 to October 2023 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management following the reporting compliance issues. More recently, in August 2023, the property encountered two sidewalk-related violations: one concerning an illegally cut sidewalk curb (approximately 8 feet) to enable vehicle access to the side yard, and another regarding a blue Ford vehicle illegally parked behind a locked gate in the side yard.

These violations were resolved with no penalties imposed. Additionally, there was a construction enforcement complaint filed in August 2023, which was disposed of the same day with an Oath Violation Served. While the building has had some regulatory compliance issues, particularly with bedbug reporting, the recent year shows no documented housing maintenance code violations that directly impact resident safety or comfort.
