8 Liberty Place, Manhattan, NY 10038

The 5-story, 4-unit building at 8 Liberty Place in the Financial District, owned by Melody Malekan, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, with the most pressing concerns centering around door/window problems and electrical wiring. As of May 2025, there are three active emergency complaints regarding door issues and one open electrical wiring complaint, all reported in April-May 2025. The building experienced significant heat and hot water problems in January 2025, with multiple complaints filed between January 3-6, including several regarding the entire building and some concerning individual apartments.

These heat-related complaints were initially open but were subsequently closed, with inspections indicating access issues. An appliance-related issue concerning an electric/gas range was reported and resolved in April 2025. The building's recent history shows recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in early 2025, when multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems were recorded.

Prior to this period, there were two active DOB violations in 2019 related to elevator defects, and another active violation from February 2021. While some issues have been resolved, including a range appliance problem in April 2025 and a December 2024 inspection finding no HPD violations regarding heat/hot water, several critical systems appear to require ongoing attention. The building's age (constructed in 1900) and history of both emergency and non-emergency complaints suggest that maintenance and systems management may require particular attention to ensure resident comfort and safety.
