Augrented Insights Report for 43 West 8th Street

The 5-story, 6-unit building at 43 West 8th Street in Greenwich Village, owned by Josh Augenbaum, was built in 1845 and has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2022-2023, there were multiple serious structural concerns documented, including leaning stairs, sagging floors, and cracked walls, which led to building monitoring and temporary shoring being installed in the basement.

These structural issues resulted in violations and environmental control board citations between 2021-2023, with penalties totaling $3,750, though the current ECB violation status shows resolved with no balance due. The building has a documented history of maintenance problems, particularly in 2022, with numerous Heat/Hot Water, Electrical, Plumbing, and Smoke Detector complaints resulting in both emergency and non-emergency violations. Multiple doors and windows also required attention during this period, though some inspection attempts were unsuccessful.

Recent inspections (2023-2024) have shown rodent activity, though past inspections had mostly favorable results regarding pest control. More recently, in 2025, there was a complaint about unauthorized work that triggered compliance inspections. Notably, the building has maintained an infestation-free record for bedbugs over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2020-2025, which is a positive indicator of current management practice.
