1948 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1948 East 8th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Liman Kodza, has an extensive history of housing maintenance violations over the past several years. Most notably, there is a recurring issue with the annual bedbug report filing requirement under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, with open violations noted in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021 inspections.

These violations indicate the owner's failure to submit the required bedbug status documentation to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) for four consecutive years. Additionally, there is a more recent Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 related to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, which remains active as of the current date.

The building also has a concerning history with rodent control, particularly evident in 2010 when initial inspections revealed rat activity, followed by a subsequent compliance inspection that resulted in failure for unspecified reasons. However, a successful rodent inspection was conducted in November 2012, suggesting some improvement in pest management. Built in 1931 as a New Law tenement, this property has faced persistent maintenance compliance challenges, particularly regarding reporting requirements and pest management, though no direct safety violations are currently on record.
