Augrented Insights Report for 228 8th Avenue

This 22-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Peter Tran, has faced numerous maintenance challenges and violations in recent years. As of March 2025, there are multiple open complaints with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding ventilation systems, smoke detectors, mold, and water leaks (both heavy and slow). The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, particularly in December 2024 through February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and common areas.

Recent inspections and violations have highlighted concerns with building safety features, including a citation for locked boiler room access and inadequate self-closing doors in December 2024. The building has a documented history of pest management challenges, with multiple rat activity reports between 2022-2025, although recent inspections in 2025 have shown improved compliance. While there have been some concerning structural complaints in the past, such as building shaking and debris concerns in late 2023, inspections typically found no violations.

The property has experienced issues with maintaining proper documentation and compliance with various housing codes, including failure to file required technical reports (FISP Cycle 9C) in 2024. However, there have been no reported issues with bedbugs since 2021, and recent rodent inspections in 2025 passed, indicating some improvement in pest management. The building's condition has shown some fluctuations in maintenance compliance, with varying responses to heating system problems and periodic issues with building systems and safety features requiring attention.
