Augrented Insights Report for 163 8th Avenue

At 163 8th Avenue in Chelsea, this 3-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1901 has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2020-2021. The property faced multiple heat and hot water problems, with six documented complaints between November 2020 and March 2021, affecting both entire-building and individual apartment systems.

Violations were issued during some inspections, and while many complaints were eventually closed, several remain open on current records. In April 2021, two notable violations were recorded for Apartment 3 regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures and door self-closing issues.

The building owner has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with active 2024 violations for unauthorized work converting the storefront into two separate businesses and tampering with posted stop work orders. Recent inspections in 2024-2025 show no bedbug issues and successful rodent control compliance, with the most recent rodent inspection in October 2024 passing. However, there are open violations as of April 2025 regarding heating systems, gas supply issues, and access concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 2, while the heating system's locked access and notification requirements in the basement have also been flagged as violations.
