158 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011
The five-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building at 158 8th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Nikolaos Leonardos, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years. Most concerning is the current active violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection, and an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2022 regarding a defective Burnham gas-fired boiler with chimney issues, carrying a penalty of $3,125.
The building underwent facade repairs following a 2018 emergency situation where a facade collapse at the neighboring building (156 8th Avenue) affected this structure's masonry, leading to multiple violations that were subsequently dismissed after repairs were completed in 2020. The property has maintained good pest control records, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years (2021-2024), and a passed rodent inspection in October 2024, though there was one report of rat activity in May 2022.
The building's history includes a 2018 complaint about compromised second means of egress and a defective fire escape, though these were addressed through subsequent repairs. Recent health department involvement includes two restaurant inspection-related service requests in 2024-2025, though these were closed with standard procedures. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past three years, consistently showing no infested units.
