1436 West 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11204

1436 West 8th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit "New Law Tenement" building located in Bensonhurst and owned by Salvatore Digiorgi. The 1926 property is currently facing multiple maintenance challenges, with the most significant issues concentrated in the 3rd-floor apartment (Apartment 6). As of October 2024, there are several open violations including one related to gas supply problems, cockroach infestations, defective door conditions, missing window guards, plumbing issues in the bathroom, and broken bathroom tiles.

Between April and June 2025, there was a notable cluster of plumbing-related complaints and violations, particularly concerning toilets and bathtubs/showers, though some inspections found no violations. The building's ventilation system was also reported as problematic during this period. The property has a history of various maintenance concerns over the past few years, including plumbing issues, paint/plaster problems, and some electrical concerns.

Notably, three separate electrical wiring complaints were reported between 2019 and 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during two of these inspections. However, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in recent years, with the most recent filings in 2024 showing no affected units. The Department of Buildings records show several closed complaints between 2019-2022 regarding various systems, including a boiler issue, egress concerns, and gas piping complaints, though no violations were found during inspections in some cases. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing plumbing issues are a primary concern, with multiple emergency complaints and violations requiring attention.
