Augrented Insights Report for 48 West 8th Street

The five-story, 40-unit Old Law Tenement at 48 West 8th Street in Greenwich Village, built in 1930 and currently owned by Return To Home LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. The building has active violations related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021 and a 2017 boiler inspection, and there are concerns about a brick wall in the rear yard that obstructs fire escape egress. In 2022, multiple housing maintenance code violations were recorded, though most were subsequently closed, including issues related to fire escape maintenance, safety signage, and emergency notification postings.

The property has undergone various inspections and filed several permits for work, with the most recent being for plumbing and electrical work in April 2019. Bedbug reports show no infestations between 2023-2024, following the resolution of two cases in 2021-2022. The building's rodent inspections, conducted annually from 2010 to 2024, have consistently passed.

Recent complaints include a December 2024 report of work without a permit, though this was referred to the Department of Consumer Affairs for investigation. There have been two food contamination complaints in 2023, both of which were closed after being addressed. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violation, with particular attention needed on fire safety and inspection compliance.
