334 East 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

334 East 8th Street is a 6-story, 30-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Rona Clemente, located in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most concerning being multiple heat/hot water complaints in October 2023 (two separate incidents) for the entire building, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. In mid-2024, Unit 6A was found to have multiple violations including mold, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and plumbing issues, all of which were eventually certified as corrected by late July 2024.

The building has also faced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2023-2024. More recently, in early 2025, there was a plumbing complaint regarding a basin/sink that HPD was unable to inspect due to lack of access. The building's maintenance history includes several resolved Department of Buildings complaints regarding elevator maintenance, heating systems, and various building systems.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2022 noted issues with electrical work without a permit and pedestrian protection concerns related to a sidewalk shed, though these were resolved with no penalties. The building's compliance record shows it has passed multiple rodent inspections in 2025, and in recent bedbug reporting periods (2019-2024), there have been minimal infestations, with most recent reports showing no active infestations. There are currently two active DOB violations from 2023 related to the failure to display energy efficiency scores and the failure to file FISP Cycle 9B Technical Report.
