8795 21st Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8795 21st Avenue is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Bath Beach, owned by Rosa Martucci and constructed in 1970. The building has experienced several maintenance issues since mid-2022, with multiple 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints primarily focusing on plumbing (particularly toilet issues), door/window problems, and ventilation system concerns. Notably, there were violations identified in September 2022 related to a roach infestation, bathroom water closet issues, defective doors, and problems with the building's stairway ceiling.

Additional violations were recorded for both the first-floor and basement apartments, including missing safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors. While some of these violations were documented as "Open" status as of 2022, they were addressed in later inspections. The building's recent maintenance record shows improvements in certain areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent 2025 filing period and a Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection in April 2024 resulting in no violations.

However, there was a pattern of access issues noted in multiple inspection requests in mid-2022, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to evaluate the reported problems. The most recent minor inspection in 2024 confirmed no current violations, suggesting that many of the earlier maintenance issues have been resolved. The building's history shows a concentration of maintenance problems during 2022, particularly related to basic infrastructure systems such as plumbing and safety equipment, though the situation appears to have stabilized with improved compliance in subsequent years.
