8501 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
8501 21st Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law tenement building in Bensonhurst, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Chung Choi Kin. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with tenant complaints documented in 2022 (affecting the entire building) and 2019 (affecting a single apartment), both of which were eventually resolved.
A cluster of maintenance issues emerged in January 2019, including violations related to ceiling paint/plaster, mold, a water leak, and problems with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, along with mailbox issues - though not all these complaints resulted in violations. The building underwent significant inspections in 2020-2021 related to lead paint safety, with violations issued requiring certification of compliance in Apartments 1 and 3. In 2022, violations were recorded regarding self-closing doors at the building entrance, though these were subsequently certified as corrected.
The Department of Building's records from 2022 show a complaint about vent/exhaust issues that was inspected but no violations were found at that time. While there was a violation issued in March 2020 regarding an unfiled boiler inspection, this record appears to be active without disposition comments as of October 2023. However, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record from 2019 through 2023, with no reported infestations during the past four filing periods, suggesting effective pest management practices.
