8714 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214
8714 21st Avenue is a 6-story, 66-unit residential building constructed in 1926, currently managed by owner Christopher Vasilakos. The building has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably problems with the elevator system, heat and hot water maintenance, and various structural concerns. Between January 2025 and May 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding the building's heating system, though inspections often found that heat and hot water had been restored by the time inspectors arrived.
The elevator has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" recorded between 2021 and 2025, and active violations related to its maintenance and safety features. The building has also faced several fire safety and structural issues, including fire damage in multiple apartments (B7 and C7), problematic fire escapes, and various facade-related violations. In December 2024, violations were issued regarding the building's energy efficiency score display requirements, and there are multiple ongoing ECB violations related to elevator maintenance and building facade issues, with penalties totaling over $10,000.
Recent inspections between 2022 and 2024 revealed various maintenance problems, including broken windows, skylights, and door issues, though many violations have been certified as corrected. The building's exterior has shown signs of deterioration, with violations citing spalled bricks and masonry issues. However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past six years, and the most recent rodent inspection (2018) passed, indicating general pest control has been effectively managed.
