Augrented Insights Report for 160 8th Avenue

The six-story, five-unit building at 160 8th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Ben Gilbert and constructed in 1920, is currently facing significant maintenance challenges as of July 2025. Most concerning are the ongoing rodent infestations, with inspections from early 2025 consistently showing rat activity and requiring multiple rounds of bait application.

The building is also experiencing persistent water and plumbing issues, particularly affecting apartment 5, which has open violations as of April 2024 regarding water leaks, defective plaster, bathroom fixtures, and various plumbing problems. Heating and hot water availability have been repeated concerns, with several emergency complaints filed across 2024 and 2023, though inspections often found no violations or could not gain access for verification.

The building's recent history shows patterns of maintenance neglect, including three active violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, as well as other open violations as of 2024 regarding elevator access and annual bedbug reporting requirements. Apartment 5, in particular, shows multiple documented issues across various inspection dates, including problems with the carbon monoxide detector, self-closing doors, bathroom facilities, and hot water availability. While the building had no reported bedbug cases between 2019-2020, the current rodent activity and ongoing maintenance issues suggest continued challenges with building upkeep.
