2103 8th Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10026
The five-story, 18-unit Old Law Tenement at 2103 8th Avenue in Harlem, owned by Jose Verdugo, has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly related to heat and water systems. Most recently, in February 2025, there was a water leak complaint that was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations. During late 2023, there was a particularly notable cluster of heat and hot water complaints, with multiple reports from both entire building and individual apartments in November and December 2023, some of which HPD was unable to access for inspection.
The building experienced similar heat/hot water issues in 2019 and 2021, suggesting ongoing challenges with this essential service. More recent concerns include one active violation regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low pressure inspection as of April 2023. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with results showing rat activity in 2023-2024, though the most recent inspection in May 2025 passed.
The property has maintained an active status with bedbug reporting from 2019 through 2024, consistently showing zero cases of infestation or re-infestation. Several housing maintenance code violations were recorded in 2018, including issues with roof leaks affecting apartment 5B, though these were certified as corrected by late 2018. The building also experienced food-related incidents in 2024, with health department involvement, though the specifics of this complaint are not detailed in the records.
