338 East 8th Street is a 7-story, 70-unit interim multiple dwelling building located in the East Village, constructed in 2001 and currently owned by Herminio Torres. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple documented water leak complaints between 2022 and 2024, including heavy flow and slow leak incidents with violations issued in January and September 2024.
The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including a heat/hot water emergency complaint in December 2024, unsanitary conditions related to mold in January 2024, and ventilation issues noted in an April 2024 indoor air quality inspection. Recent rodent activity has been documented in multiple inspections throughout 2023-2025, with the most recent complaint in February 2025. The building's history includes several violations requiring attention to building maintenance standards, particularly related to apartment 6J, where a March 2024 inspection resulted in multiple violations regarding water leaks, plaster surfaces, and paint requirements, all of which were certified as corrected by April 2024.
The property has passed several recent rodent inspections (most recently in July 2025) and has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years. Historical records indicate some construction-related issues between 2018-2020, including unauthorized work and scaffold installation concerns, though these matters were eventually resolved. The building has undergone regular rat inspections, with alternating results showing both activity and compliance through 2024 and into 2025.
