Augrented Insights Report for 939 8th Avenue

939 8th Avenue, a 6-story, 20-unit residential building in Hell's Kitchen owned by Zofia Perekstein and constructed in 1930, is currently experiencing several concerning maintenance issues as of 2025. Most notably, there are ongoing problems with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints about inadequate heating systems dating back to December 2024 through early 2025, including three emergency complaints in January 2025 alone. There are also recurring issues with water leaks, including an open complaint from February 2025, and pest problems, with an open complaint from December 2024 and previous violations noted in Apartment 600.

The building's elevator system has been cited for violations in January 2025, and there were significant compliance issues in 2024 regarding unauthorized use of the 2nd and 3rd floors as a spa and massage parlor, resulting in multiple Environmental Control Board violations totaling $15,000 in penalties. Historical maintenance records show a pattern of heating system problems, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024 and early 2025. The building has maintained a relatively stable pest control record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2021, though there were instances of rodent activity noted in 2019 inspections.

Recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 included failures to provide adequate heat and hot water in Apartment 600, along with issues regarding building access to heating systems. The property has been actively monitored for environmental compliance, with most recent inspections passing, though there were some inspection failures noted for the elevator system in early 2025. The building's management has undergone various compliance inspections between 2020 and 2025, showing a generally responsive approach to most violations, though recent heating system maintenance appears to be an ongoing challenge.
