717 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10036
The 17-story, 176-unit building at 717 8th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen, owned by Scott Goldenberg and constructed in 1966, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with documented incidents occurring in March 2024, October 2023, and multiple instances in 2022. The property has maintained a generally good rodent control record, with passed inspections in July 2025, July 2024, and others, though there were some rodent-related complaints in recent years, including a 2024 complaint about insects/garbage and a 2025 mobile food vendor issue, both resolved by health department inspections.
The building underwent several significant renovation and safety inspection periods between 2021-2025, including multiple tenant safety inspections in 2022 that resulted in various violations being documented and later resolved, particularly concerning self-closing doors and electrical safety issues in common areas. Recent maintenance and safety concerns include an elevator violation in June 2025 that was addressed with an Oath Violation, and three heating/water-related violations in 2023-2024 that were closed after inspections.
The building has shown improvements in certain areas, with no reported bedbug infestations in 2022-2025, and health department inspections in 2022-2025 have generally resulted in satisfactory outcomes. Historical data from 2019 and 2022 shows periods of construction-related violations, particularly regarding worker safety training and daily logs, though these were ultimately resolved. The property has maintained active oversight from various city agencies, with a consistent pattern of addressing violation notices and service requests, particularly through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health (DOHMH).
