1489 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11230

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 1489 East 8th Street in Midwood, owned by Nilda Barbieri, has experienced several noteworthy events and regulatory issues over the past five years. Most recently, in July 2023, there were emergency complaints related to stairs/ flooring conditions, though these were promptly addressed and closed within a day.

The building has a concerning pattern of non-compliance with required safety reporting, including active violations as of 2023 for failing to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection and the 2017 Boiler Inspection Report, both of which remain unresolved. Three separate Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements were issued between 2021-2024, with these violations being closed but indicating a recurring issue with timely compliance to documentation requirements.

The building's bedbug reporting history appears to show no actual infestations between 2019 and 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units and successful eradication of any past instances. However, there are two unresolved violations from 2018 regarding required safety postings in the first-story public hall, including procedures for responding to suspected gas leaks and a completed certificate of inspection visits, which were noted as open at that time. While the building has maintained generally good bedbug management practices in recent years, the outstanding violations regarding inspection filings and safety postings suggest areas where building maintenance and regulatory compliance could be improved.
