Augrented Insights Report for 8684 20th Avenue

The four-story, 23-unit New Law tenement building at 8684 20th Avenue in Bath Beach, owned by Enrico Ferdico, has experienced significant ongoing heat and hot water issues throughout early 2025, with multiple complaints filed through 311 and HPD between January and February 2025, some requiring emergency response. In addition to these immediate concerns, the building has active violations from September 2024 requiring attention to safety systems and maintenance, including issues with fire escape obstructions, water leaks, and defective doors.

The Department of Buildings has also identified structural concerns, with active ECB violations from 2024 related to facade damage and fire safety systems, including a $12,500 penalty regarding facade issues and a $1,280 penalty for obstructed fire escapes. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including the failure to properly address lead paint hazards in apartment 3C identified in 2024, and multiple emergency heating system failures.

While the building has maintained a record of zero bedbug infestations over the past five years (2020-2024) and has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2018-2019, the current violations and service requests suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical complaints show various issues including facade problems, boiler concerns, and unauthorized work, with the most recent construction-related concerns appearing to center around 2023-2024 compliance inspections under Local Law 188/17.
