413 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001

The 4-story, 1901 structure at 413 8th Avenue in Chelsea, currently owned by Maria Riggio, has experienced recurring pest management challenges and regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are four open bedbug report violation notices dating from 2021 to 2024 (all classified as Class A violations) indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's annual bedbug reporting requirements.

The building's recent history has also been marked by food establishment-related concerns, with three DOHMH complaints between 2022 and 2024 regarding rodents, insects, and garbage, as well as a food preparation issue in July 2023. While there was an active rat activity report in July 2023, subsequent rodent inspections in August 2023 and October 2024 resulted in passed reports, suggesting some improvement in this area.

The building currently has an active Department of Buildings violation as of September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection report, which remains unresolved. Despite these persistent challenges, the property has demonstrated some level of responsiveness to inspections and violations, as evidenced by multiple administrative closures of service requests and passing grades in subsequent rodent inspections. While historical records from 2016 through 2022 show consistent passing grades in rodent inspections, the recent pattern of violations regarding bedbug reporting and food establishment concerns may warrant attention to maintain resident comfort and safety standards.
