8008 Avenue J, Brooklyn, NY 11236

The two-family house at 8008 Avenue J in Canarsie, owned by Beverley Grannumarthur, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in May 2025, there were multiple serious safety concerns, including violations related to a carbon monoxide detector and problems with smoke detector compliance. Additionally, there were multiple pest-related complaints during this period, with at least three inspections leading to violations, though one inspection was unable to be completed.

A water leak issue was also reported and inspected, resulting in violations. Looking back through 2024-2025, the building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in both late 2024 and early 2025. Three of these complaints were for full building issues, while one was specific to an apartment.

While some of these complaints were found to have no violations upon inspection, others did result in violations requiring correction. The property has had a mixture of completed inspections and some instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct their evaluations. The concentration of recent safety-related complaints, particularly regarding carbon monoxide detection, and the persistent nature of the heat/hot water issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this 1965 structure.
