8726 Avenue J, Brooklyn, NY 11236

8726 Avenue J is a three-story, 18-unit residential building constructed in 1985, currently owned by Marcia Ashby and located in Canarsie, Brooklyn. The building has experienced several infrastructure-related issues in recent years, most notably a cluster of problems in May 2024 involving electrical systems, including wiring, lighting, and a power outage, as well as a heat and hot water emergency that was fortunately resolved without requiring violations.

The property's maintenance history shows recurring concerns with the plumbing system, particularly water supply issues, with significant incidents recorded in November 2019 (three separate complaints) and February 2021, though no violations were issued for these either. Despite these mechanical challenges, the building has maintained a good record regarding pest management, with recent documentation from 2023-2024 showing no bedbug infestations, eradications, or re-infestations reported across multiple filings.

The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows zero affected units, continuing a pattern of successful pest control that has persisted since at least the 2022-2023 period. While the building has experienced a number of maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to electrical systems and plumbing, these have generally been addressed promptly, with most complaints being resolved within days of filing.
