Augrented Insights Report for 799 8th Avenue

As of July 2025, 799 8th Avenue, an 8-story, 107-unit New Law Tenement built in 1910 and owned by Martin Scharf, is facing several ongoing maintenance issues that significantly impact resident comfort and safety. Most notably, there is an open HPD complaint from June 2025 regarding unsanitary pest conditions, following a previous mold issue in April 2025. The building has experienced multiple heat and hot water problems in early 2025, with several related violations issued between January and March 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Apartment 815 has documented violations from March 2024 regarding safety systems and maintenance, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, mold issues, and problems with doors and plaster surfaces, though some violations were later resolved. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges with basic services and building systems. There were multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, and the property has experienced ongoing rodent control efforts, with several inspections showing rat activity between June 2023 and September 2024, though a compliance pass was recorded in September 2024.

The electrical system underwent scrutiny in 2023, with complaints about defective wiring leading to Oath violations. While there have been various construction-related complaints and violations over the years, including issues with scaffolding and building access, many were found to have no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The building's bedbug history shows periodic infestations between 2018-2024, with the most recent report in 2024 indicating no active infestations. Recent maintenance patterns suggest the property has experienced recurring issues with basic services and infrastructure, with multiple violations requiring attention to safety systems, building maintenance, and environmental conditions.
