8 Perry Street, Manhattan, NY 10014

The two-family house at 8 Perry Street in the West Village is a historic 1849 property currently owned by James Demetriou. This two-story building has experienced recurring rodent issues over the past four years, with documented rat activity during multiple inspections between April 2024 and July 2024, though the most recent inspection in March 2025 showed a "Passed" result.

The building's pest management maintenance has included both initial inspections and bait applications in 2019 and 2024, indicating ongoing efforts to address vermin presence. A single Department of Buildings (DOB) complaint was filed in November 2018 regarding adjacent buildings, though no violations were found upon inspection the same day.

The property has maintained relatively consistent DOB records, with one building permit issued in September 2019 under job number 122835441. While the building's age and location in a historic neighborhood are noteworthy, the primary concern based on the available records is the pattern of rodent activity and the property's variable pest control outcomes, despite recent improvements in 2025. The building has demonstrated some responsiveness to regulatory inspections, with multiple compliance checks and bait applications intended to mitigate the vermin problem, though the frequency of rat activity reports suggests that this remains an ongoing maintenance challenge.
