Augrented Insights Report for 197 8th Avenue

197 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 9-unit old law tenement building constructed in 1900, currently owned by SNA Enterprise. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, including an ongoing problem with the building's intercom system as of April 2025, and problems with heat and hot water in early 2025 that were reportedly resolved promptly.

Between 2022-2024, multiple violations were documented regarding building systems and safety equipment, including electrical wiring issues, drainage problems, and concerns about fire escape access. The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by multiple inspections in 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity, though bait was applied in response to these findings. The property has been subject to several Department of Building violations, including an active penalty from 2024 regarding electrical wiring in hallways, and previous issues with downspouts and drainage systems.

Health and safety concerns have been documented, including instances of food poisoning complaints in 2024-2025 and a comprehensive inspection in 2022 that revealed issues such as missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, door problems, and even an infestation of mice in one apartment. The building's management has generally responded to complaints and violations, with many issues being addressed and closed, though some recent concerns remain open as of mid-2025. Importantly, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations according to official reports from 2021 to 2024.
