8757 Bay 16th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11214
The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 8757 Bay 16th Street in Bath Beach, owned by Getz Obstfeld and constructed in 1916, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in April 2024, the building faced concerns regarding indoor air quality with reports of chemical vapors and gases, as well as multiple window frame issues that generated violations. Earlier in 2024, there were documented problems including water leaks, pest infestations, and mold issues, though many of these were resolved or closed without violation citations.
The building has ongoing structural and safety concerns, with open violations as of 2025 including a damaged door hinge in apartment D1 and multiple hopper window issues in stairwells affecting all floors. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024-2025 note problems with the building's facade, including cracks and missing mortar joints, and issues with building egress and exterior maintenance. The property has a documented history of complaints regarding structural stability and building shaking, with multiple reports between 2018-2025, though some of these were found to have no violations when inspected.
In 2024, there were violations for excessive water temperatures (150 degrees) and plumbing issues in apartment C3, along with pest infestations in apartment 3B. The building's maintenance record shows relatively consistent bedbug reporting periods from 2019-2025, with no reported infestations in any unit during these periods. The property has also faced challenges with window and door maintenance, ceiling plaster conditions, and various plumbing issues, though many complaints have been addressed through inspections and violation notices. While some improvements have been made, including the closure of certain violations and service requests, several significant issues remain active as of 2025, particularly regarding the building's facade maintenance, window operation, and emergency egress systems.
