306 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10001

306 8th Avenue is a 12-story, 204-unit residential building located in Chelsea, constructed in 2011 and currently owned by Ken Haron. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2025, including a recent emergency complaint in January 2025 reporting heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building. While many of these complaints were ultimately resolved, the persistence of these issues suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge.

The building underwent substantial repairs in 2022, with multiple apartments (9G, 10G, 11G, and 12G) requiring work on plaster surfaces and walls, including one unit (12G) reporting fire damage. There were also documented safety violations regarding outdoor signage in 2020, with penalties imposed for improper permits and markings, though these were resolved. The property has maintained generally good conditions regarding bedbug infestations and rodent inspections, with the most recent bedbug report from 2024 showing zero infested units, and all rodent inspections since 2016 passing successfully.

However, there were some regulatory compliance issues in 2022 related to COVID-19 safety protocols, including several face covering violations in January 2022. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance issues as evidenced by closed complaints, though access issues were reported in some cases, such as the January 2025 heat complaint where HPD was unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. The property has passed all regular rodent inspections conducted since 2012, indicating effective pest management practices.
