830 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10019
830 8th Avenue, an 11-story building constructed in 1985 and located in the Theater District, is currently experiencing significant maintenance issues, particularly with its heating and plumbing systems. In the latter half of 2023, there were multiple complaints about heating and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with the most recent complaint filed in late November 2023. The building has a documented history of water supply problems, with several plumbing complaints in both 2022 and 2023.
The building is also grappling with persistent rodent activity, as evidenced by multiple inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing rat activity, with bait being applied in 2025. Recent inspections in October 2023 revealed multiple violations in apartment 8B, including inadequate hot water supply and problems with cold water provision in both bathrooms, as well as issues with door hardware. The building has outstanding violations regarding the external low-pressure system inspection filings from 2022-2024 and a currently open violation from October 2023 concerning a bulkhead door repair requirement.
Between 2018 and 2019, there were concerning structural and safety issues that were addressed through various Environmental Control Board violations, including problems with the eastern bulkhead wall and the building's sprinkler system. While the building has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2025, indicating no infestations, the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems and rodent problems, suggest significant challenges with building upkeep. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple emergency complaints over the past two years, with no violations being issued in some cases, though this pattern has not necessarily correlated with resolution of the reported issues. The current owner, Hersel Torkian, has been associated with the property through various ownership entities, and there has been consistent documentation of maintenance issues requiring attention throughout the building's recent history.
