Augrented Insights Report for 234 8th Avenue

234 8th Avenue in Chelsea is a 7-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Elvin Esperanza. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since December 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filing through 2025 indicating both building-wide and individual apartment problems, though many have been subsequently resolved or closed after inspection. The building's maintenance record shows some historical issues, with notable violations in 2020 concerning inadequate paint conditions in Apartment 2 and various heating system problems in 2019.

Recent building conditions include an open complaint from February 2025 regarding an electric/gas range issue. The building has faced several regulatory challenges over the past few years, including two active ECB violations from 2023-2024 related to illegal business signage and unpermitted work on the storefront, with associated penalties of $6,250.00. Earlier violations from 2018 highlighted facade maintenance issues, though these were resolved.

The Department of Buildings has recorded various complaints and inspections showing mostly resolved status, including past concerns about elevator service. Recent rodent inspections show improved conditions, with successful passes in 2024 and 2025, though there were some issues noted in earlier years. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past seven years of required reporting.
