8 West 76th Street, Manhattan, NY 10023

8 West 76th Street is a 5-story, 16-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, owned by Zacarias Vazquez and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, most notably in November 2021 when an entire building outage was reported, though it was restored before HPD could inspect. The property has had three documented rodent sightings between 2019 and 2022, with the most recent complaint in October 2022 being notable for the inspector's inability to access the property.

However, the building has passed multiple rodent inspections since 2016, with the most recent occurring in March 2024. The building has had several maintenance issues requiring attention, including paint/plaster concerns in 2019 and heat-related violations in December 2017 specifically affecting apartment 4C. In 2019, three violations were issued requiring the posting of safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, though these were certified as corrected in December 2021.

A building stability complaint was recorded in August 2024, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with no documented bedbug infestations over the past eight years, with regular annual inspections showing zero infested units. The most recent building permit was issued in October 2021 for an unspecified alteration work.
