2065 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
2065 East 8th Street is a 4-story, 39-unit residential building in Sheepshead Bay, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Stella Tsismenakis. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints in recent years (2020, 2025) indicating ongoing problems with the heating system. There have also been concerns about cooking gas supply, with emergency complaints filed in December 2024 and January 2025, though one was inspected and found not to violate housing laws. The building has experienced various maintenance issues, including water leaks and ceiling problems in December 2023 that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations.
Recent inspections and violations reveal several building maintenance concerns, including: - A facade-related violation issued by the Environmental Control Board in August 2024, noting disrepair with chipped/cracked bricks. - Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2023 related to the roof, plastered surfaces, and paint issues in apartment D4. - Four active Department of Buildings violations regarding failure to display energy efficiency information (from 2021-2022). The property has undergone several investigations for building stability and illegal modifications, with incidents recorded in 2024 for building shaking and possible illegal conversion, though inspections did not warrant violations in some cases.
There have been no bedbug infestations reported, with the most recent filings showing eradicated units but no current infestations as of the latest reporting period. The building's history includes some pest-related issues, with a rat sighting complaint in 2024 (passed inspection), though rodent inspections in 2010 and 2024 showed varying compliance results. The property has had recurring heat and maintenance issues over the years, particularly regarding the heating system, which appears to be a persistent problem affecting resident comfort. While some building-wide issues have been addressed, others continue to arise, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age and history suggest typical urban property maintenance challenges, though the frequency of heating-related complaints stands out as a notable concern.
