34 8th Avenue is a 5-story, 23-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the West Village, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ben Kopilev. The property has experienced recurring issues with rodent activity, most recently documented in 2025 with both rat sightings and inspections showing rat activity, though a compliance inspection in April 2025 noted passing results. The building is currently facing open violations related to paint/plaster wall issues and flooring problems as of February 2025. Historical heating system reliability has been a concern, with emergency heat/hot water complaints in 2021 and 2023, though these were resolved. Significant safety compliance issues were addressed in late 2021, including multiple violations related to posting requirements for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting, which were subsequently certified as corrected. The elevator system has experienced documented issues, with a violation for inoperative service in 2021 and a Stop Work Order in 2024 regarding repair work that was later rescinded. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistently zero infested units from 2019 through 2024, indicating effective pest management practices.
