238 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

238 8th Avenue, a 4-story, 4-unit residential building in Chelsea built in 1901 and owned by Bardhyl Vadahi, has experienced several notable pest-related challenges over the past few years. The property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with consistent annual reporting since late 2019 showing zero infested or eradicated units through October 2024, despite a brief violation in February 2022 regarding the timely filing of the annual bedbug report.

However, the building has faced significant rodent control issues, particularly during 2022 when multiple inspections resulted in failed outcomes, including documented rat activity in March 2022. The situation appears to have improved substantially in recent years, with the most recent rodent inspections from June 2023 through June 2025 all passing successfully, suggesting effective remediation measures were eventually implemented.

The building's recent history shows a marked contrast between bedbug management and rodent control challenges, with the former consistently well-managed and the latter presenting persistent difficulties until recent improvements. The most current rodent control inspections indicate successful maintenance of appropriate vermin control standards, though the building's earlier struggles with rodent issues in 2022 would warrant attention to past systems and procedures. The property's overall maintenance record shows attention to required reporting and compliance, with the bedbug reporting system functioning properly since the initial violation was addressed.
