51 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10014
51 8th Avenue is a 6-story, 8-unit residential building located in the West Village, constructed in 1893 and currently owned by Ted Levenson. The building has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring issues with food establishment odors in the vicinity, with Department of Health and Mental Hygiene cases reported in 2024 and 2019, though these were resolved through standard inspection processes.
The property has maintained a good track record with bedbug management, showing zero infested units across multiple annual reports from 2020 to 2024. Rodent inspections have demonstrated generally effective pest control, with most inspections passing, though some rat activity was noted in 2020. The building has experienced several regulatory interactions worth noting.
Three consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in 2021-2023 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports, though these appear to have been addressed in subsequent filings showing no infestations. There have been multiple Department of Buildings complaints and inspections, including a 2021 certificate of occupancy complaint that warranted no violation, and more recent concerns regarding ventilation and unauthorized work in 2024-2025, with an active complaint as of March 2025. The property has a history of necessary permits being issued for various work between 2017 and 2020, including plumbing and electrical permits, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the building's infrastructure.
