8835 23rd Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11214

8835 23rd Avenue is a 6-story, 59-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Issac Friedman. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2025, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues, as well as power outages affecting both apartment and building-wide systems. These complaints, while eventually closed, indicate persistent infrastructure problems.

In 2024, the building faced various maintenance concerns including water leaks, flooring issues, and ventilation system problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The building's elevator system has been a recurring area of concern, with complaints in 2021 resulting in violations for missing fire signs, braille tags, and various mechanical issues, though these were eventually resolved. The property has multiple active violations regarding the failure to file required external low pressure inspections for 2019, 2022, and 2023, which suggests ongoing compliance issues with safety requirements.

Historical records show a pattern of rodent activity concerns between 2016 and 2020, though recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 indicate no infestations. The building has also experienced various door and maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2024-2025, particularly focusing on defective self-closing doors and related safety concerns. While many previous violations have been closed, the pattern of recurring infrastructure issues, particularly with essential services like heat, hot water, and electricity, remains a notable concern for the property's resident experience.
