8817 Bay Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11214

The 32-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 8817 Bay Parkway in Gravesend, owned by David Tennenbaum and constructed in 1926, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, particularly during 2025. The building has faced multiple window-related problems, with three window frame complaints in March 2025 resulting in at least one violation being issued. Other notable 2025 issues include a heavy water leak, wall problems, and both apartment-specific and building-wide heating/hot water reports in early March, along with a mold complaint that HPD was unable to fully investigate.

The building currently has two open violations from a December 2024 inspection related to roach infestation in apartment 4D and a broken window counterbalance in apartment 4G. Previous violations from 2024 included issues with fire escape obstruction, carbon monoxide detectors, and various door-related problems, though many have been resolved. The property has a history of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past six years, showing no active infestations since 2019, and passed a rodent inspection in 2015.

There was an illegal conversion complaint in 2021, but this was closed with no violations found at the time of inspection. Most recently, there is an active complaint regarding the Certificate of Occupancy status from June 2025, though no disposition has been recorded as of now. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with many being certified as corrected, though some current open violations remain.
