299 East 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10009
The six-story, 30-unit tenement building at 299 East 8th Street, owned by 299 B & C Realty LLC and constructed in 1900, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems. Most notably, from January 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water, with violations issued for apartments 3 and 23 confirming the lack of proper hot water service.
The building has also faced significant infrastructure challenges, including emergency water leak and electrical issues in June 2023, and various health and safety concerns related to pests and building maintenance. A compliance inspection in 2024 revealed three open violations in apartment 11 regarding water leaks, door issues, and floor damage, while the building's boiler room has persistent violations related to safety equipment and maintenance requirements. The property has a documented history of filing violations with the Department of Buildings, including three active violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspection reports.
Past violations show concerns about the building's facade maintenance, with issues documented in 2021 regarding defective window sills and lintels. Despite these ongoing issues, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections since 2022, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past seven years. The 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints indicate persistent difficulty in obtaining access for inspections and resolving recurring heating system problems, with multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed throughout 2024 and into 2025.
