Augrented Insights Report for 249 8th Avenue

249 8th Avenue, a 20-story, 221-unit residential building in Chelsea constructed in 1931 and owned by Charlie Starner, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably regarding heat and hot water systems. The building has faced multiple heat/hot water outages affecting the entire building between 2020 and 2024, with the most recent incident reported in October 2023.

The property has also contended with rodent-related challenges, with inspections showing past rat activity in 2022 and inspections in 2023-2024 requiring bait application, though the most recent 2024 inspection passed. A significant construction project appears to be ongoing, with multiple Department of Buildings violations and current active ECB violations related to sidewalk shed/ scaffold conditions, facade maintenance, and various safety compliance issues, including broken glass panels noted in an October 2024 violation. The building's facade and safety structure have been the subject of multiple inspection and violation reports between 2021-2024, with penalties assessed for non-compliance.

The property has maintained an active record of pest control reporting, showing zero bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), though there was a cluster of four units reported infested in 2020. The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance and upgrade work being performed, with multiple permits issued for various types of work between 2018-2021. While the building has passed several health and building inspections, the recurring nature of the heat/hot water issues and recent facade maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and exterior maintenance.
