58 West 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

The five-story OLD LAW TENEMENT building at 58 West 8th Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Lori Buchbinder, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with the most significant concerns centering around heating systems and water-related problems. Between 2018 and 2021, there were multiple complaints and emergency responses regarding heat and hot water outages affecting both the entire building and individual apartments, though records indicate that these issues were generally resolved promptly. More recent concerns include a flooring issue reported in late 2024 (which inspectors were unable to access), and a food establishment complaint in 2025.

The building has demonstrated good pest control management, with no reported bedbug infestations or eradications in the past two years (2022-2024), and consistent passing results in rodent inspections between 2012 and 2024, with only one failed inspection in 2022. Additional historical issues include problems with mold and water leaks in 2018, asbestos concerns in 2019, and various health department inspections of food establishments requiring attention. The property has been actively maintained, as evidenced by the annual bedbug reporting compliance showing zero infested units in recent years, and the successful completion of multiple building permits for work done in 2019.

Recent inspections have focused on routine maintenance rather than emergency responses, suggesting improved building conditions. However, the building's history of heating system issues and various maintenance complaints indicates that while many problems have been resolved, resident concerns regarding building systems and infrastructure should be monitored. The most recent violation from early 2023 regarding bedbug reporting requirements appears to have been addressed, as subsequent filings show no reported infestations.
