Augrented Insights Report for 870 8th Avenue

870 8th Avenue, a 19-story residential building constructed in 1965 in Manhattan's Theater District, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water supply and sanitation. Most notably, between May and June 2025, there were multiple complaints and emergency violations related to water supply problems and the presence of mold, with HPD inspections being either incomplete or unable to be conducted. The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, with three separate water supply complaints filed on May 13, 2025, two of which were categorized as immediate emergencies.

A significant environmental concern was documented through an active ECB violation (as of December 2024) regarding the building's parking structure maintenance, with a penalty of $6,250 imposed for unsafe conditions. The building's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with both water and pest management. There were four separate housing maintenance code complaints in 2025 alone regarding unsanitary conditions, and previous issues included infestations in apartment units (notably apartments 7L and 9C in 2020).

The building has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding its energy management practices, with violations recorded for failure to submit benchmarking reports in 2023 and display energy efficiency scores in 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed. Recent inspections (2023-2024) have documented rat activity, though earlier inspections from 2014-2013 show regular bait application with passed inspections. Noteworthy improvements include the resolution of multiple violations regarding improper gas leak notification postings and various repairs, though several violations remain open or active, particularly related to building systems and environmental maintenance.
