5 Brighton 8th Court, Brooklyn, NY 11235

5 Brighton 8th Court, located in Brighton Beach, is a 2-story, 3-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Asif Qureshi. The property has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in June 2025, including problems with doors/windows, plumbing fixtures (toilets and basins), flooring, walls, and an electrical power outage.

These complaints were primarily categorized as either emergency or non-emergency issues. The building's persistent maintenance challenges are further highlighted by eight open violations recorded in October 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor, including problems with bathroom tile, carbon monoxide detectors, hot water availability, faucet functionality, smoke detectors, and plaster surfaces. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding its occupancy status, with two complaints about illegal conversion filed in 2022 and 2024, though inspections in 2024 found no violations warranting action.

An active ECB violation from December 2022 remains on record, suggesting unauthorized conversion of the Class A apartment into multiple rooming units with communal facilities, for which a penalty of $6,250 was imposed. The building's infrastructure has experienced various issues over time, as evidenced by the recent 2025 complaints and ongoing violations from 2024, though historical rodent inspections from 2011 and 2012 passed without violations. The property's extensive list of maintenance issues and open violations indicates recurring problems with basic building systems and infrastructure, though many recent complaints have been classified as "closed" following inspections.
