Augrented Insights Report for 940 8th Avenue

940 8th Avenue is a 4-story commercial building built in 1910, currently owned by Sol Chakalo. The building has experienced multiple significant health and safety-related incidents in recent years, with the most pressing concerns including active violations regarding occupancy without a valid certificate and failure to correct previous violations, resulting in penalties of $2,500 and $1,250 respectively. Recent health-related complaints include food poisoning and unsanitary conditions, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene conducting inspections.

The building has documented non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2023, though recent filings from 2024-2025 indicate no current infestations. The property has faced several regulatory challenges, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints and violations recorded between 2020-2025. These include illegal hotel room usage, improper egress, unpermitted work, and several instances of failing to file required safety inspections, though many of these violations were dismissed upon subsequent review.

The building's history shows consistent rodent inspection compliance since 2010, and recent bedbug reporting compliance suggests improved pest management practices. Two food establishment complaints from 2018-2019 regarding contamination and foreign objects were officially addressed. The building's recent medical emergency response records from 2022-2025 indicate through-pass inspection results, though the nature of these incidents is not specified in the available data.
