1956 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 1956 East 8th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Jacob Cohen, has been under consistent monitoring for pest-related issues over the past several years. While the building has faced multiple administrative violations regarding bedbug report filing requirements between 2021 and 2023, most notably in 2021, 2022, and 2023, recent developments show a significantly improved status.
The building has maintained a record of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units in its last five bedbug reports spanning 2019 to 2025, with the most recent report (July 2025) covering the 2023-2024 period showing no infestations whatsoever. The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues, most recently evidenced by a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene service request in late 2024 regarding pests (closed February 2025), although this appeared to be related to a food establishment rather than the residential building itself.
A plumbing-related complaint from September 2023, which included concerns about illegal/unauthorized work, was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt. It's worth noting that while the building had ongoing issues with bedbug report compliance between 2021-2023, the more recent filings from 2024-2025 reflect full compliance with no reported infestations.
