2118 West 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 2118 West 8th Street in Gravesend, owned by Maria Bonello, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2024 that could not be properly investigated due to lack of building access.

During June 2022, multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding various issues, including door and window problems, appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range), an unsanitary condition involving pests, and a cabinet issue, all of which resulted in violations being issued. The building has documented violations pertaining to Unit 5's self-closing door, fire escape access, and infestation issues in 2022, though these were certified as corrected later that year. The property has a history of alleged unauthorized commercial use and zoning violations, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2024, though inspections often found no violations warranting action.

From 2018, there were three Environmental Control Board violations related to obstructed fire escape passageways, which were resolved. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past six years (2019-2025) according to the required reporting. The most recent complaints (2024-2025) regarding illegal commercial use in a residential zone were either closed due to lack of access or resulted in an Oath violation being served, suggesting some enforcement action was taken.
