21 West 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011
21 West 8th Street is a 4-story, 24-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Benjamin Goletic. The property has experienced consistent maintenance challenges over recent years, with particular attention needed on Unit 2B, which has multiple open violations as of July 2023 related to gas supply and pest infestations. Recent 311 service requests indicate ongoing concerns with food safety, including a current food poisoning complaint (as of May 2025) and a March 2025 rodent/insect/garbage issue that was subsequently closed.
The building has a documented history of gas-related problems, with emergency complaints in July 2023, though these were marked as duplicates of a building-wide issue. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations in recent years. In 2023, violations were issued regarding gas supply to cooking fixtures and pest control in Unit 2B, while other open violations relate to door issues in Unit 3C and a failure to provide proper notice for service interruptions.
Previous concerns from August 2022 show multiple violations regarding windows, floors, and walls in Unit 2B, along with an electrical outlet/switch issue. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the annual reports from 2021 through 2024. While there have been some rodent-related inspections showing both passed and rat activity results, recent inspections in 2022, 2023, and 2024 have consistently passed. The property has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, with complaints about unpermitted work and violations related to failure to file energy benchmarking reports in 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed.
