1802 West 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 1802 West 8th Street in Gravesend, owned by Salvatore Mattioli, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2021. During March-April 2021, the building faced multiple violations including pest infestations, problems with window frames, electrical issues, and issues with paint/plaster in Unit 2R. Specifically, Unit 2R had a combination of problems including bedbug infestation, water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, and issues requiring attention to the bathroom's peeling paint and plaster surfaces.

The building also had two notable violations in 2020 related to unauthorized construction work that stripped public corridors down to the studs, creating safety concerns, for which penalties of $12,500 and $25,000 were imposed by the Environmental Control Board, though both violations have since been resolved. More recent records show improvement in pest control, with no reported infestations since the initial bedbug incident in 2021. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two years, showing zero infested units.

Two active violations remain from 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2022, though one of these violations was dismissed. The property has passed recent rodent inspections (July 2020) and shows regular maintenance through permitted work, including plumbing and electrical updates in 2019 and 2020. While the building's maintenance history shows significant past issues, the recent bedbug-free status and the closure of most previous violations suggest improved conditions, though the outstanding violations from 2023 should be noted.
