Augrented Insights Report for 288 8th Avenue

288 8th Avenue is a 4-story, 11-unit residential building located in Chelsea, constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Stephen Cheung. The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services, most notably a ventilation system problem that remains open as of February 2025, and multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, with the most recent emergency complaint filed in December 2024. The property has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including plumbing issues (steam pipe/riser and bathtub/shower problems), electrical concerns (outlet/switch issues), and maintenance matters such as a defective mailbox that incurred violations in December 2023.

Significant building systems inspections from 2018-2024 reveal persistent concerns about safety systems and compliance. In 2024, an inadequate sprinkler system was documented, while past issues included boiler violations (2019), electrical safety concerns (2018), and multiple failed access attempts for various inspections. Recent inspections indicate the building has passed rodent inspections consistently since 2010, and bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no infestations.

The property has ongoing safety concerns, with open violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding self-closing doors and window frames on different floors, though many previous violations have been resolved or certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of response to tenant complaints, though access issues have sometimes prevented proper evaluation of reported problems. Recent work has been documented through multiple permits, with the most recent permit (issued June 2025) suggesting ongoing maintenance or improvement efforts. Historical data indicates various code compliance and safety system issues, including past concerns about egress paths, electrical systems, and heating equipment.
