4 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10014
The 5-story, 4-unit building at 4 8th Avenue in the West Village, built in 1856 and currently owned by 11 Abingdon Square, LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2024. Most notably, there was a series of heat and hot water complaints in early 2024, with multiple reports indicating inadequate heating throughout the building.
These complaints were documented between March and May 2024, and while some resulted in violations, others were closed due to inspection access issues. The building also faced gas-related concerns, with documented violations in March 2024 regarding improper gas line installation and venting for the hot water heater, for which fines were imposed. More recent history shows continuing oversight issues, including a 2025 Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaint related to food establishment and pet concerns, though this was properly closed by the health department.
The building's maintenance record shows some improvements, as the last documented bedbug report from late 2024 indicated no infestations, and previous bedbug reports dating back to 2020-2023 also showed zero infestations. Structural concerns were noted in 2021 regarding building stability, and various housing maintenance code violations were documented in 2024, including issues with self-closing doors and fire egress requirements in apartment 1F, though many of these have since been resolved. The heating system infrastructure has been a recurring concern, with multiple violations related to access and maintenance requirements, though some of these violations are marked as "closed" or "resolved" in subsequent inspections.
