The 80-unit, 5-story building at 146 8th Avenue in Chelsea, currently owned by St Francis Friends Of The Poor Inc, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Since January 2024, there have been multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with some complaints going unresolved when inspectors were unable to gain access. The building has also faced ongoing pest-related challenges, with open complaints as recent as February 2025. A notable bedbug infestation pattern is evident, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing 13 units initially infested, including 4 that experienced re-infestation despite eradication efforts. Building violations have included issues with self-closing doors in public hallways and at bulkheads, as well as problems with fire safety doors, though these were certified as corrected between April and June 2024.
The property's heating system has been a recurring problem, with six heat-related complaints filed between January 2024 and February 2025, three of which involved the entire building. The building also had three periods of bedbug infestations between 2022 and 2024, with varying numbers of affected units. In terms of general safety and maintenance, violations were issued in 2023 regarding door self-closing mechanisms, and multiple failures to file external low-pressure inspections were noted in 2020-2022, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. Recent inspections from 2019 through 2024 indicate consistent passing results for rodent inspections, suggesting effective pest control in that regard. The building's most recent building permit was issued in August 2023, though specific details of the permitted work are not included in the available data.
