250 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10011

The 4-story, 4-unit building at 250 8th Avenue in Chelsea, owned by Peter Loucas, has experienced several significant maintenance and health-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there are active violations related to multiple unregistered boilers, with five violations issued in April 2023 concerning Burnham models with 52,000 BTUs. Additional boiler-related violations from previous years remain unresolved, including a November 2022 violation concerning a Fulton model with 345,000 BTUs that was not registered in DOB records.

The building has also faced recurring issues with pest management, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 showed zero infested units. Rodent control has been an ongoing concern, with multiple inspections in 2023 showing varying results from "Passed" to "Rat Activity," and several bait application incidents recorded between March and August 2023. The Department of Buildings has conducted several compliance inspections through 2023, including a tenant safety inspection in November 2023 that showed compliance.

While there have been past health inspection concerns, including a food establishment complaint in 2021 and a food poisoning report in October 2023, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene determined the most recent incident was isolated and would be subject to regular sanitary inspections. The building's maintenance record shows a history of boiler violations spanning multiple years, with the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 passing rodent inspections, though the presence of rat activity was noted in mid-2023. The property was built in 1920 and carries a "Heretofore Converted Class A" designation, with recent bedbug and rodent control measures being actively monitored.
