303 East 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009

303 East 8th Street is a 6-story, 12-unit residential building located in Manhattan's East Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Divya Rashad. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably a cluster of complaints in July 2024 involving doors, plumbing, and electrical systems, all of which were classified as emergencies but couldn't be inspected due to lack of access.

Prior to these recent complaints, the building had a history of maintenance challenges, including a significant cluster of violations in 2019 relating to fire safety systems, emergency egress, and unauthorized alterations to the fire escape structure that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations with penalties. The building has maintained an active bedbug monitoring record from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units each year. Regular rodent inspections conducted from 2019 through 2025 have also passed, indicating good pest management.

While there have been various violations recorded in the Department of Buildings system, including some related to plumbing and safety systems, many have been resolved or dismissed. The property has successfully filed its annual bedbug reports and passed multiple rodent inspections, suggesting some level of proactive maintenance. However, the recurring nature of recent service complaints and the inability to inspect these issues due to access problems raises potential concerns about maintenance responsiveness.
