399 East 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

The 30-unit, 9-story residential building at 399 East 8th Street in the East Village, owned by Three99 On Eighth, has experienced several significant issues since its construction in 2014, with particular concern around heating systems. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a building-wide heat and hot water complaint that required HPD intervention, though access issues hindered inspection.

Another heat-related incident occurred in November 2023, affecting individual apartments, but reportedly resolved quickly. The building has faced multiple administrative challenges, including several open violations for failure to file required External Low-Pressure Inspection documents for 2021 and 2023, and a prior failure to file an Energy Benchmarking Report in 2024 (active violations as of 2024). In 2022, the Department of Buildings investigated and issued violations regarding illegal transient occupancy in Apartment 4D, which resulted in penalties, though these appear to have been resolved.

The building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2025, and passed recent rodent inspections in May and June 2024. Additional administrative matters include a smoking violation from 2021, which was resolved, and a previously dismissed violation from 2019 concerning the display of energy efficiency information. While the building has faced multiple heating system challenges and various administrative violations, it has consistently demonstrated proper pest control management and has addressed most violations when given notice.
