2172 East 8th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11223

This 4-unit, 2-story New Law tenement building at 2172 East 8th Street in Sheepshead Bay, built in 1925 and currently owned by Stefano Dimaggio, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred between 2019 and 2020, primarily involving unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints and violations recorded during this period. In 2020, the building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations that remain unresolved, including concerns about public hall encumbrances and inadequate lighting.

The building has also faced challenges related to safety compliance, with multiple outstanding violations as of 2020 including the need for proper notification regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures. More recently, from 2021 through 2024, the building has demonstrated improved management in some areas, particularly regarding pest control. The Bedbug Reporting requirements show consistent compliance, with no reported infestations in any dwelling units across seven filing periods between 2019 and 2024.

The most recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 did not show any bedbug-related issues. Notably, during a rodent inspection in October 2019, the building passed the inspection, suggesting improved pest management practices. While the building's bedbug history is positive, the outstanding violations from 2020 regarding safety notices and public hall conditions indicate some areas of ongoing concern that have persisted for several years without resolution.
