Augrented Insights Report for 236 8th Avenue

The 4-story, 5-unit building at 236 8th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Jon Vigna, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since 2021. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding the failure to file mandatory External Low-Pressure Inspections from 2018 through 2023, with penalties totaling $312. In April 2024, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for failure to maintain the building, citing ceiling holes and water leakage issues.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with the most recent (June 2025) passing, though there were notable rat activity incidents in 2022 and 2023. The property has shown persistent plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints about leaks and maintenance problems between 2021 and 2022, including a heavy water flow leak in November 2021. There have also been concerns about garbage and recycling storage conditions.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported between 2019-2020 and 2022-2023, suggesting effective management of this particular issue. Recent inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) indicate some ongoing health and sanitation concerns, including a 2024 complaint about toilet facilities and previous rodent/insect/garbage issues in 2022. While many historical complaints have been resolved, the pattern of maintenance violations and the failure to complete required safety inspections suggest ongoing compliance challenges.
