8012 16th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 8012 16th Avenue in Bensonhurst, currently owned by Tomi Huang and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced recurring issues related to unauthorized driveway modifications at the property. Most notably, there have been two documented complaints about illegal curb cut/driveway/carport modifications, with the most recent complaint filed in January 2025 and inspected in June 2025 resulting in an Oath Violation being served.

This falls closely behind a similar incident from June 2021, which was also addressed through the Oath Violation process just five days after the complaint was filed. In addition to these complaints, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation (number 39042412P) issued in June 2021 against 8012 16TH AVENUE LLC, which imposes a penalty of $3,125 for illegally cutting the sidewalk curb at the front side of the building, creating a lowered portion that enabled vehicle access to an unauthorized off-street parking pad.

This violation remains unpaid according to current records. The persistence of these curb cut violations, with two separate enforcement actions and an active penalty, suggests an ongoing issue with unauthorized modifications to the property's access points, potentially affecting both resident safety and compliance with building codes.
