39 West 8th Street, Manhattan, NY 10011

39 West 8th Street is a 9-story, 34-unit residential building located in Greenwich Village, built in 1923 and currently owned by Vlady Sheynin. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in March-April 2021, when multiple violations were issued relating to door/window frames, electrical wiring, plumbing (bathtub/shower), and pest issues (specifically roach infestation) in apartment 81. Additional maintenance concerns were reported in late 2020 regarding water leaks and window frames, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these issues.

The building underwent multiple repairs and maintenance work through various permits issued between 2018-2021, including electrical and plumbing work. More recent history shows some concerns regarding potential illegal activities, with complaints filed in 2022-2023 about illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues, though these were closed with no violations found. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations since 2020, with all recent filings showing zero infested or re-infested units.

Rodent inspections have passed regularly since 2019, with only two failed inspections noted in 2018, indicating improved pest control management. The property has had several environmental and safety inspections, including a tenant safety inspection in 2022 that found no violations. While there have been numerous complaints and violations over the years, most have been addressed and closed satisfactorily, with only one open violation from 2021 regarding a roach infestation in apartment 81, though it's worth noting that violation statuses can change over time and may not always reflect the current conditions. The building's most recent inspection records (through 2024) show consistent passing results, suggesting improved management of the property.
