1942 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The three-story, six-unit building at 1942 East 8th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Albert Gross, is a New Law tenement constructed in 1942. Recent inspections in April 2025 revealed multiple housing code violations requiring attention, including issues with doors/windows, plumbing, and safety systems, particularly affecting unit 3R6 where several violations were documented for defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide devices, plaster surfaces, and plumbing fixtures. The building has an active Environmental Control Board violation from September 2023 regarding access to the heating system/boiler room, with an associated penalty of $500, and is reportedly in violation for failure to file annual boiler inspection reports for 2017 and 2022.
Additional concerns include a 2024 violation for failing to submit the annual bedbug report, and there were multiple complaints regarding the building's systems and maintenance requirements between 2020 and 2023, though some were closed without violations being found. Two 2025 complaints specifically mentioned issues with door/window systems and smoke detectors, while several others were either not inspected or found not to violate housing laws. The property has a history of multiple complaints regarding various building systems and maintenance issues, with a notable concentration of violations in and around 2024-2025.
While some historical complaints from 2020-2022 regarding work permits and illegal use claims were closed without found violations, the current records suggest persistent maintenance and safety system challenges. The building has passed rodent inspections in 2014 and 2015, though more recent pest-related issues were documented in 2025 as a non-emergency violation. The owner has received multiple citations for failing to maintain proper documentation and responses to housing maintenance code requirements, with several active violations requiring correction as of 2025.
