2154 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223
The two-story, four-unit residential building at 2154 East 8th Street in Sheepshead Bay, owned by Allen Barsano and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. The most pressing current concern involves multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024. The building also has active Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 related to structural issues, including multiple instances of brick facade cracking noted at various locations, with associated penalties totaling over $10,000.
Between 2020 and 2021, the building experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with documented HPD complaints in December 2020 and November 2019, though these issues appear to have been resolved at the time of reporting. Significantly, in 2021 the building faced multiple violations regarding building safety concerns related to a unit's use as transient accommodations, including deficiencies in means of egress, fire alarm systems, and sprinkler requirements, along with a violation pertaining to illegal occupancy that resulted in an $8,000 penalty. These violations were accompanied by additional citations for failing to maintain building code compliance and not properly addressing previous violations.
While some earlier DOB violations from 2020 and 2021 were dismissed or downgraded, several remain active, particularly concerning the failure to certify corrections on immediately hazardous violations. Recent inspections in June 2023 generated multiple complaints, all of which were promptly closed with varying disposition codes. The building's violation history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges and compliance issues that have persisted over multiple years, with the most recent bedbug reporting violations indicating potential oversight in maintaining required documentation.
