325 East 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

325 East 8th Street is a 6-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 2000 and currently owned by City Jam LLC. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in February 2024, though HPD was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. The property has a documented history of door-related problems, particularly in 2019, with multiple complaints filed between June and July of that year, leading to violations being issued.

The building's elevator system has been a consistent area of concern, with violations and penalties in 2019-2021 for issues including oil leaks, alarm malfunctions, and maintenance deficiencies, resulting in an active ECB violation with a substantial penalty of $6,250 as of 2021. Additional violations include a bedbug reporting requirement in 2021 that was initially marked as class A, and an open violation from 2018 regarding missing electric outlet covers in the 5th-floor public hall. Despite these ongoing maintenance challenges, the building has maintained reasonable conditions in terms of pest control and sanitation.

The property has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual reports from 2020 through 2024, and all recent rodent inspections from 2021 to 2025 have passed. The building has experienced no significant health or safety violations related to vermin or pest infestations in recent years, suggesting effective management of these issues. The property is currently compliant with bedbug reporting requirements, as recent filings have shown no instances of infestation or re-infestation. While the building has maintained satisfactory standards in pest control, the recurring issues with elevator maintenance, heat/hot water systems, and door/windown access remain the primary areas of concern from a resident comfort perspective.
