167 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

167 8th Avenue is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Chelsea, built in 1910 and owned by Mark Slinin. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with complaints reported in 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022, all affecting the entire building. While these issues were typically resolved promptly, they represent an ongoing maintenance concern.

The building had some significant violations identified in the 2023 inspection, including a leaking roof, damaged fire retardant materials in the 5th story public hall, and peeling paint requiring correction. There are also multiple active violations regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections from 2018-2021, which were issued in 2023. A notable safety issue was documented in early 2022 concerning a damaged stair tread on the fire escape of the 2nd-floor level, for which a penalty of $1,280 was imposed.

The building has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, and rodent inspections from 2010 to 2024 have consistently passed. Plumbing issues have been documented in 2019 and 2022, though these were generally resolved promptly. The property has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, as evidenced by the certification of correction for several 2023 violations, including repairs to the roof and public hall issues. The building's maintenance history shows regular inspections and reporting, though with some lapses in timely filing of required documentation, particularly regarding boiler and pressure inspections.
