209 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
The 6-story, 35-unit building at 209 8th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Dritan Dobi, has experienced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. Since 2024, there have been recurring issues with the elevator system, classified as a "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," with complaints filed in both 2024 and 2022, though not all inspections confirmed violations. Water-related problems have been significant, with both slow and heavy leaks reported in late 2024, resulting in violations.
The building has also faced safety concerns, including broken window guards reported in September 2024, though HPD inspections found no violations in several other areas including sanitary conditions and appliance issues. Multiple violations related to air conditioning units obstructing fire escape egress were documented in September 2024, along with various repair needs in Apartment 64, including issues with roof leaks, door functionality, and plastered surfaces. Recent rodent activity has been documented at the property, with inspections beginning in mid-2024 showing rat activity and the need for bait applications.
Bedbug reports have been consistently filed, though recent filings from 2022 through 2024 show no infested units. The building has a history of food establishment-related complaints, with incidents in 2024 and early 2025 regarding food poisoning and letter grading. While there are several active and recently closed violations in the system, including two active elevator-related violations from 2019 regarding failure to perform inspections, many complaints from 2022-2025 have been resolved. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestation patterns in recent years.
